Yes, oxymoron I know. But like many of you, I am stuck in :amerikkka:

So if you could pick anywhere to live in the States, where would it be? And why? Ideally where far left ideology is the norm.

      Yeah. It sucks. But it's the truth. Right now there's are no political orgs that can realistically challenge boomer money and their death grip on politics. Car free cities are not happening in the near term. The best you can get is places like Minneapolis or Raleigh that have a lot of bike infrastructure.

      They aren't saying it's impossible. They are saying the conditions do not YET exist. There is not YET a large enough anti-car movement.

          You know how many rich fucks in NYC want to have their driver ferry them around? Like yeah I agree there is probably a base big enough for a movement if it was organized. I haven't done it myselfbecause I have no people skills, crippling social anxiety, and no longer live In a large city(or do I? Fuck off feds) the vast majority of the country is ONLY accessible by car. And losers in cities still see it as a status symbol. There have been a few towns here and there that manage to ban cars from like a specific street or whatever. I'd look at how those were successful and start there. Do it one street at a time till using a car in the city is so hellishly useless no one does it.
