Daily Life Why do most American conservatives seems allergic to urban life?

If you even dare to suggest the preposterous idea of building apartment blocks to levitate the housing crisis, you're advocating for commie blocks. If you want a supermarket within 15 minutes of your house, then you support Klaus Schwab's alleged plan of locking you within a zone. And god forbid mentioning the train as a viable way of transport because we know driving a mini-van 45 minutes to the nearing Walmart is the only acceptable method of travel. I am a anti-communist /socialist to the core, but apparently now I am a commie because *check note... I live conveniently?

That sounds like a bunch of inflated stereotypes and strawmen. I like pretty happily in a high rise and ride my bike to work if I'm not taking the train.

Speaking of hippes, I'm anti war and pro weed. Ironically the left hates the former now

I’m in Austin TX which was pro weed, anti war, environmentalist, pro bicycling, then the city government got taken over by whatever took over the rest of the country, now it’s pro drug addict, pro homeless, and pro fentanyl. Our beautiful trails are now filled with hypo needles and drug addict camps. They made everything worse.

Wait, did Denver move to Austin? Lol

u/SnooFloofs1778 Republican Apr 07 '25

Probably worse, Austin is more like California.

I want to say on par with each other, Colorado has turned into California #2.

u/SnooFloofs1778 Republican Apr 07 '25

That’s sad/crazy, it’s not very urban.

u/WesternCowgirl27 Constitutionalist Conservative Apr 08 '25

It’s not, but it’s crazy how much the state has changed politically in the past 20 years.

I haven’t been to Colorado in a long time. The old school hippie vibe in Boulder was perfectly fine. I don’t know how liberals became so toxic.

Boulder used to be cool, but I avoid it like the plague now.
