And most of the workers in Alabama will thank their employers instead of acknowledging unions triggered it. The hatred of unions here is insane.

Places that are good for cars/parking are always attractive to visitors, because they don’t have bikes there, they don’t know the transit systems as well, they tend to have less time to spend in transit so they opt for taxies and car based transit, etc. But it’s more important that a city is functional and healthy for…

Honestly it’s not like these parking lots were purposefully made. Atlanta like many cities went through the “Urban Blight Removal” phase in the 50s-70s where large sections of downtowns were knocked down. Atlanta in particular turned Downtown into a hotel and corporate dystopia, so there has been relatively little…

i was against both the bank and the city in this case. 

“Libertarians are like house cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”

They pillage like nobody else!

I think part of the issue is that there is a lack of willingness to redesign cities when you can just slap up poorly designed transit train that costs way too much. In the Minnesota/Minneapolis area there are numerous well-designed bus routes from the suburbs bringing people into the city for work. Now, as an example,…

Libertarians tend to think that public goods like parking meters should be monetized because “socialism!” But as we can see they are far less efficient than having the parking authority operate them. Paying the civil service wages and benefits can be less expensive, even in Chicago.

Libertarians are the stupidest people you ever meet and their ‘ideas’ are based on the simple fact that they never think things through.

This is pretty much the Libertarian wet dream, which is why we should all recoil in horror at libertarians and their insane arguments and claims.

“In all, it’s a cautionary tale not to forget that the shift to EVs is meant to reduce carbon emissions...”

Being compartmentalized away from the rest of humanity has its consequences.

Despite what car apologists might be thinking about this, I think that there’s a definite correlation that was already highlighted, and I know this firsthand. But what is also important to note is people cycling in cities are also more likely to be local residents of that area, which means there’s a stake in how the…

It’s not necessarily rebuilding society, it’s repurposing some of our current infrastructure to be more pedestrian-friendly. We’re not talking about building up or creating high-density neighborhoods, I’m thinking about working with what we currently have, and that’s purely based on statistics for travel.

It really surprises me that problem solving seems to be unanimously dependent on technology changing to fit that need. And from what I’ve seen the reality is so far removed from that perception. The world wants to go all-in on EVs to slow our impending climate doom, but it’s surprising that nobody is thinking about…

Shocking that people aren’t wild about $60k (at 7% interest!) cars with limited, often-broken charging infrastructure and insane repair and maintenance costs.

How about the federal government start with eliminating tax incentives for heavy vehicles, or at least limiting them to demonstrable work truck...regardless if they are ICE or EV.

“Colorado Law Would Charge Owners For Driving Giant, Pedestrian-Crushing Trucks And SUVs”

Only $30? Still I’m sure the “Buh mi freedum!” folks will throw a fit.

Yeah, but it just doesn’t project the image that some people are looking for when driving F-250s and bigger as their commuter vehicle to their work in a downtown metro area, and always picking the spots in the ramp to cause the most inconvenience.
