  • Hard no. I’ll move on like I did a year ago from Reddit, and I was on that site for 14 years.

    Just from a political/nation-state viewpoint, it would needlessly expose information to make it easier for countries and political parties to keep some kind of “social score” and decide when to do something to you. China already does this kind of stuff.

    We need to make it easier for everyone/anyone to do this? Think about all of the super-divisive issues at hand. People can already get a sense of your views from your responses, and that should be it.



  • The city I’m in is listed (more car ownership) and I’m fairly confident the same reason for all of those higher ownership cities is the same.

    Northeastern cities grew before the advent of the car and needed mass transit to function.

    No one wanted to sweat their butts off in southern cities, so those only grew after residential air conditioning became more available. This was around the 50’s and tracks with when these cities expanded.

    Because the predominant mode of transportation at the time was cars, you have cities that were developed that way with the interstate highway program helping.

    Lastly, General Motors also put their hand in there to ensure more sales (in multiple cities). There’s a good documentary on what they did in Los Angeles. The folks of that city can thank GM every time they waste away on the 405.
