This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

I hope it's appropriate to post this here - apologies in advance if not.

You may know Park Hill flats for being included in TV shoots for shows such as Dr Who - and the status as a controversial icon of brutalist urban architecture (also a listed building as of 1998, making it the largest listed building in Europe!).

The apartment buildings are in a location central to the city of Sheffield in England.

There are now proposals to increase the number of car parking spaces, seemingly without much consultation and as a means to generate profits, in opposition to local plans to extend the Peak District, protect green spaces, promote Sheffield as "an outdoors city," and prevent flash flooding.

There is now a drive to build greater opposition to these proposals, from residents (local and beyond), who have put together more information here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12V9NeL-YT51LJD13spBfkiPObBuBK80ysz0d5S6uZGE/mobilebasic

We can't keep letting this happen!
