I’m the same way on cold mornings.

Need to replace the taxis with tuk tuks too

I wish more office buildings had a shower. There is zero chance I’ll bike to my Houston office if there isn’t a shower I can use once I arrive. 

If you look at cities with seriously high population densities, you see this

I can get anywhere within Boston in less than 20-25 minutes, including Roslindale. By bike.

I don’t see any contradiction. 12 out of 15 is definitely “most” of the injuries.

“178 rail street-level crossings over 66.5 miles”

Florida has basically turned itself into one big dawrin award competition. Building “high speed” rail with three hundred plus grade level crossings is just part of the game.

Many years ago, I was standing around in a small restaurant in Essex, Massachusetts waiting for a to-go order. To pass the time, I started reading a framed newspaper clipping from the early 20th century. I was about a couple of guys who had taken a trip from Essex, all the way to the West Coast of the US, using…

Yeah, it's definitely more widespread than "a few select neighborhoods in a couple of cities", but it's still a lot more uncommon than it should be. Car dependence should not be a thing in a city that is midsized or larger.

What we need is more emphasis on pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and fixing the zoning codes so that more markets, restaurants and other businesses can be build closer to residential areas, even within them. Like, every cookie cutter residential development should be required to have at least a small grocery…

This is going to be the way of the world from now on. We’re going to have to take into account an automakers data security when deciding which make of car we want to purchase.

I live 200 yds. from a supermarket, but if I wanted to walk there, I would have to walk 1/4 mi. to the nearest intersection (which doesn’t have a “walk/don’t walk” signal) and then walk another 1/4. mi. to the supermarket. I guess I could dash across the road rather than cross at the light, but the speed limit is…

Reagan promised wealth, abundance and a revitalization of the American dream (for some, anyway).

I never voted for Jimmy Carter, but I have nothing but respect for his legacy.

My Republican father who was an engineer in a nuclear power plant highly respected Carters experience as a nuclear engineer and submarine commander. When Carter introduced the solar panel tax credit he immediately installed them on the roof of our house where they not only provided a more than adequate source of hot…

Jimmy was the first POTUS I voted for. The rest of the country went with the “trickle down theory”. And we all see how that went.

Tired: Alpha male.

I think it’s awesome how the American wealthy built and armed modern China by looting our Middle Class.
