Bobert? MGT? you’re babbling again. I introduced no such figures or things. Whatever. You’re clearly debating a strawman you’ve created in your mind. Good day. I am not even reading further. You are ghastly misinformed and ignorant and like many such people need to force all others into a generic ‘enemy’. Have a nice…

It’s not a conspiracy theory at all. You can already look at the existing congestion charge systems where you need to register you trip in advance. The desire for tax per mile requires a very expensive tracking grid of ANPRs to be installed. The cover story is to tax battery EVs, but all that requires is smart meters…

Screen size is important when buying a cell phone on wheels.

You spew out more babble. The agenda of the so-called elite, which you are apparently pushing, the authoritarian technocratic collective, is the most dehumanizing system ever conceived. It’s based on industrial farming. People in your desired system are nothing more than livestock, human resources. And you’re cheering…

I saw a lot of concentration on street width some years ago. Also it’s about denying motor vehicles space by reserving lane space for favored vehciled.

Here’s Chicago, 1874 viewed from the water tower:

Your reply is untimely and is such babbling nonsense I can’t even parse it.

My point is that all sorts of things including the grid street design, wide streets, etc are pointed to by new urbanists as car-centric designs when they predate the automobile.

Suburban subdivisons are ‘we don’t want nobody driving down our street’ designs set up for the automobile age. Funny thing is, that’s often…

Yes, of course cities are designed somewhat around the vehicles common at the time of design. But width would have been designed in for a new city because of the population increases. Traffic problems existed in the older cities before the automobile. The idea of wider straighter grid street systems predates the…

So you prefer the tyranny of the grey aliens from zeta reticuli and might makes right. They have a few million years of advancement on us and have spent the years since 1946 prepping us for their takeover. There will be rules, do you want to have say .... Well that’s how silly your strawman nonsense is.

It means I don’t keep a list of a couple decades sitting handy of the studies I’ve dissected in the past. Two decades of BS means the likelihood of these being recycled BS is a near certainty. Why don’t you show me why it isn’t BS again this time? Show me how this time they didn’t carefully position the probes not to…

It’s self evident when you read the studies or try to find out how the studies were done. I don’t have the time today to go through these particular ones but every time I have it became clear that data collection and analysis is done to support the desired conclusion.  That’s when there is even any measurements done…

The anti-diesel studies, NOx studies for years have been rigged in various methods for years upon years. It’s SOP. It’s all done with an anti-vehicle agenda in mind.

Oh drop the woke nonsense. I’m not going to address every detail of your misunderstandings of history.

Democracy is tyranny of the majority. It’s the majority wants this, so the minorities are just out of luck and to be plundered. And what does the majority of human beings want? They want to live at the expense of…

Exactly. I used to point out what the pre automobile age was to new urbanists frequently. They don’t care because they are simply tools for a larger agenda. Anyway my favorite was when they used to argue some street in an older city was wide because of automobiles. I would dig up a 19th century photograph showing the…

It makes bicycling much more dangerous for anyone who goes above 8mph or so. Hit from behind is a rarer form of auto-bicycle collision. Bicyclists get hit mostly in various forms of ride outs. That’s things like crossing roads via sidewalk riding, coming out of driveways etc. The worst possible thing to do is to put…

There was no such thing as public transport before the automobile. There were private companies that offered the transportation services people wanted. When government got more and more involved the companies were not able to adjust to changing needs, technology, etc. The got taken over by government which uses…

It’s new urbanist talking point garbage backed up with same nonsense as ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were copy and pasted from streetsblog.

There isn’t public transportation outside big cities because there aren’t enough people to use it to make it sustainable. That’s why the new urbanist agenda and UN agendas 21 and 2030 converge with regards to how people are supposed to live according to our betters.

This isn’t car website, it just pretends to be on the surface. It’s a website for pushing a new urbanist agenda among other things plus political hand wringing that’s akin to what is sent out in political mass fund raising emails.
