the common “car first” bias around our streets, & we should never forget that much of that language was the result of deliberate campaigns to specifically re-write our perspective of streets as “for cars only.” This is one of the more subtle, but important, examples.
I’ve yet to see a credible project start with a yahoo email.
Some folks can’t help rushing to judgment. 🤷🏼♀️
