A heuristic for how freedom-friendly your urbanism aesthetic is:

If you draw an image of a city with your urbanism aesthetic, and then replace a random building with a McDonalds, how much worse does it become?

Lunarpunk clearly beats solarpunk on this dimension.

That is one branch of solarpunk art, but I prefer this interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqJJktxCY9U

It's also more resilient to the McDonalds test (although not perfectly so)

I hope the Dear Alice style is what people think of as solarpunk becomes more mainstream, though I think it's unlikely

I like this! Definitely feels like the sort of environment I would want to live in, and definitely more robust to McDonalds incursions!

I appreciate the pluralistic nature of it, particularly in how it has both the dense city life option and the rural life option and both seem appealing
