    This has for the most part has always been his message, he left because he tried advocacy and it didn’t help. That’s why he would point people on his sub who couldn’t move to advocacy groups like Strong Towns, as he claimed he wasn’t an advocate himself since he had no patience for it or hope anything would substantially change in his lifetime in Canada and the US.

      Yeah, the problem is his beloved Amsterdam got better based on incremental changed done by advocates, so I don’t really blame him while at the same time it’s not the right answer, imo. We should all be demanding change.
