We really need to find a way through legislation and zoning laws to mandate that for every redevelopment of existing property a percentage of low/middle income housing is built in the area. We can’t just keep kicking our poor people to build luxury condos for people who won’t/don’t live there.

That said, I myself enjoy living in a place where car fans can straight-pipe their compact beaters to make them louder than Lamborghinis.

Odd, no mention or Rochester, just an hour west of Syracuse, and they recently filled in a small chunk of arterial road and turned it into a standard “grid” and they’ve had great success with it.

It’s only a little bit about building it and not at all about tearing it down.  It’s mostly about how both of those things are done and why they’re done the way they are.  As you noted, the article covers legitimate nuances in this (though it rambles quite a bit as well TBH), so reducing it like this just feels

Looks like the Bonaventure highway in Montreal.

Can’t believe I am seeing this here, and I haven’t read the entire article, but I have been a resident here for 34 years and seen almost all of the ink that has been spilled on both sides of the battle.

I cannot tell you how much I HATE the 81 viaduct (and 690 that bisects the city the E to W). It is LOUD it is UGLY it

I played a CD (2014, so not new but certainly not old) in my car the other day. It’s amazing how much more fidelity (if that’s the term) they have than Pandora streaming, even with the premium tier that supposedly has better audio quality. We’ve all let our music suffer as of late.

It’s fall of 2022, and you’re taking a drive through Asheville. The mountain back roads are perfect to carve in the FR-S you just managed to pick up for a sweet deal.

Insurance companies here in the U.S., however, say they don’t have “sufficient data” to “validate auto industry promises of safety benefits from automated driving systems.”

BL didn’t need dipsticks at all.  If it ever stopped leaking, you needed to add oil.

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”


And, with BMW eliminating dispsticks in favor of electronic level sensors in the late 2000s, the Germans have been able to turn around and play the same trick on many unsuspecting owners!

It’s still newer than the Nissan Z. Might as well just put it back on the market. 

Feels like high-end hotels charging for wifi when every crappy value hotel includes it free.

Wow!

Why is blaming everything on Millenials still a thing?

Ah yes. 120HP or so out of a N/A 4 tied to a CVT is better just because what, it looks more normal? Skip the torque vectoring AWD, skip the turbo motor (which actually had a decent aftermarket), skip the optional manual (lost the AWD though), skip the actual stiff sports suspension... for what, a generic box on wheels

You mean like a C8?

I would take an EV with more miles and a liquid cooled battery over any mileage Leaf.

Oh what the hell, I reluctantly voted NP. As a city-only car, it’s got obvious appeal and I’m not sinking the big bucks necessary to own a Tesla and help pay Musk’s too-high salary. A get-my-feet-wet dip into the electric future at minimal cost.
