Community college is a joke and shouldn't preclude entering a 4year as a Freshman.

Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.
I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.
If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

This is not really unpopular, cc is looked down upon by most people
If by looked down you mean an AA/AS is less than a BA/BS, then yes, but those are different degree types. If someone like me went to 2 years of CC and then onto finish my BS, that BS is the same as if I had gone to 4 years of the university.
Steve graduated highschool and went to cc with the intention of transferring to a uni.
Mary graduated highschool and went directly to university.
Most people would consider Mary more "successful" than steve
Key word there, "intention" of transferring. Did she?
Not so sure about that.
