The problem is when you take something out of its time and see every portrayed character as stereotype - you will kill all humor in the end. Imaginge some todays series in 10 years. There will always be some further developed people who adapted their own human being to whats morally acceptable in given time.
Ask people who are “affected” by the humor and if they are offended. Or make jokes about growing grass.
Yes, Cars need space, yes, Cars are totally useless in cities and yes, even in suburbs you don’t need a car.
But whats really frustrating to me is the condescending view of people with perfect infrastructure in people with Cars in general.
I live in a village and you know why? Because I’m raised in a Village, thats how I’m used to live and it’s not an Option to me to move 20-30 miles away in a town where I know nobody. The other reason is that there are just not enough apartments so even if I would wan’t it’s either crazy expensive or just not available.
I say this because I read far too often that people should just move into the city and leave just all behind because the authors are just life long urbans.
I fully argee that people with good existing infrastructure should leave cars behind because both is stupid. But if we all can also accept slightly different life plan with their own pros and cons that would be great.
