I tell them I paid more than my bicycle needs with property taxes and the fact I can’t drive all my cars at the same time but have to pay as if I could.  Oh and once I calculated what a bicyclist would have to pay and it was less than collection costs.

it wasn’t until recently that I figured out LAWA (LAX the business entity) makes over $150 million profit a year from the taxi, rental car, Uber and parking...    They oddly, seem uninterested in ways to get to the airport that don’t involve a car.

Excellent points. It sucks that our cities have all been so built up that fixing transport would be so unbelievably expensive that we’ve just relegated everything to cars.

I think you missed my point. I’m not saying we need to give up cars, I’m simply saying that our current car culture is relatively recent and shouldn’t be considered untouchable gospel. 

Making cities better and more beautiful requires bringing neighbors, developers, employers and governments into the conversation.

You can love cars, but still think they are sometimes the wrong tool for the job (see dense urban city).

If you don’t like big cities... don’t live in a big city? There’s tons of small towns and suburbs all over the US, nobody’s forcing you to live in a crowded city full of “evil leftists.” I got tired of living in a big city so I moved to a suburb of a smaller city, that’s the beauty of the US— there’s something for…

I don’t get why there’s such a drive to defend the right for everyone to drive everywhere all the time. The high rate of car ownership hasn’t been around since the inception of the USA, or other countries, and it wasn’t around for the majority of the 20th century either. Car ownership really kicked up in the early…

Gas taxes that haven’t gone up for several decades...

Cue the facebook comments about how everybody knows several new left urbanists who are planning on bulldozing their small towns to build multiuse high-rises for homeless homosexuals.

Go down to The Villages, FL where my dad lives and you’ll read some real stupid opinion pieces in their local print media, levels of rampant inane bitchery, racism, and disconnect from the outside world as to dazzle your senses.

Indeed, Rufo’s disdain for experts as opposed to normal folks of the community is a theme throughout

...but those did not sprout up due to the Magical Invisible Hand of the Free Market. Perhaps he has heard of the various Federal Highway Acts that funded the Federal Highway Administration and paid for the interstate system

This all sounds fantastic, who can I vote for to make this happen faster? 

Just to be clear, his having consensual sex with an age-appropriate woman, albeit his subordinate, voids his ability to speak out about a far more contemptible act - the rape of a child?

So? What’s the point of this comment?

The directors are complaining because it is the default setting on most TVs, and it can be difficult to find the setting to turn it off IF you are even aware of it. It should be something people can turn on if they want to (I don’t know why they would), but it shouldn’t be the default setting when it is not the…

Directors know how a film will look at 24 fps. A certain amount of motion blur is expected and needed for scenes. Especially CGI heavy stuff where the blur helps mask the artificial nature of CGI.
