Chicken or the egg problem. The die-hard motorists will piss and moan about their property taxes going to expanded public transit and then will piss and moan about how “nobody uses it” because the built environment still favors cars. That said, “moving the car problem elsewhere” is actually an improvement. Fewer cars…

Yeah, there’s research showing foot and bike traffic spends significantly more money than car traffic. 

Walkable cities are now utopian?! 

The solution to that is better public transit, not more cars, which would further strain a lower-income family’s finances.

You buy a jacket and boots.

Sounds like you live in a small town with spread out suburbs. Of course you can’t imagine living car free. The place wasn’t designed with that in mind. That said, all of the things you mentioned are mostly issues of convenience. You could live closer to work. You could find a doctor closer to home for your daughter.…

Lol, you can’t be this naive can you? The US government hates Tik-Tok for similar reasons that it hates Huawei: those companies don’t give the US deep state access through backdoors like all of the “good” US companies do. The totalitarian hostile enemy is the US.

The beatings will continue until morale improves. 

It’s a lot of money, but California brings in $250 billion in taxes every year. We need to push this through and do an honest appraisal of what went wrong (and what went right) when it’s done. Doing new things is hard and many mistakes will be made, but we have to start somewhere and presumably we’ll get better at it…

How does one go about adopting Copenhagen as their city?

I mean, he’s right. And I understand the frustration. He’s 38 and wants to win another championship. He doesn’t have time for Mercedes to fuck around. Sounds like they’ve already put another design through the wind tunnel. Seems highly unlikely that a new car could get up and competitive in season, but it’ll at least…

The US can no longer compete so it is reduced to banning and restricting its competitors. Sad!

Car infrastructure is bankrupting us.

Bit of advice: never use a press release from cops as a source of information.

I’ve flown economy to Japan on multiple occasions. That’s about 14 hours one way. One time on the way back I started feeling sick right as we were boarding. Before we pushed back I was in the bathroom with it coming out both ends. The sinks in there are so shallow that my vomit was just shooting out the other side of…

Been waiting forever for a larger Macbook Air. They will sell a billion of them.

Still too expensive. A lowest spec Model X for $100k. I think Teslas are ugly, but if they could produce something like the Model X with similar range, AWD, but slower for $60-$70k, I might be interested. I simply do not need to go 0-60 in 3.8 secs in a minivan. It’s dumb.

A new product roll-out designed to pad the bottom lines of the auto companies was half-baked and chock full of consumer hostile omissions? Crazy.

Nah, if the cops won’t do their jobs, we will. Vigilantism is fine if no one gets hurt and the punishment fits the crime.

I’m beginning to suspect you’re kind of historically and geopolitically ignorant.
