What if we taxed suburban sprawl properly?

What are your thoughts or expectations for the upcoming ‘34 olympics in SLC?

I’m curious why you think he sucked in that role? I certainly have my own thoughts on that, but the bar for that position is so low it almost seems like that’s inevitable and the best hope is that they do less damage than before rather than innovate.

Buttigieg

oh hey a whole section of my book on this

This is being appallingly undercovered

But car only neighborhoods are equally unfair because they also don’t work for all.

The roadway gets destroyed within a coupe of years on high traffic lines. The heavy rolling over the same spot on the asphalt eats a groove right through the roadway. Plus it’s still just a damn bus and nobody will switch modes for a bus.

Sounds more like an insufferably noisy hellscape. I heard this annoying drone in the park the other day and could only think how awful it would be to have the skies flooded by even bigger and louder vehicles flying rich assholes around.

Reducing car dependency is a key tool in defending democracy in a whole lotta ways.

The USA has spent $2.85 Trillion on roads and highways in the last decade and traffic still hasn’t been fixed.

And they can put it at Yankee stadium where that shit belongs. Pete Rose is the kind of guy their fans will get on their feet to cheer for.

Good transportation cost money. Great transportation cost A LOT of money.

Exactly this! You want better trains and a better environment, stop pouring vast sums of money on the exact modal choice that will take you away from that, and start spending on rail with a DEDICATED STREAM of funding.

Fredo only knows how to win in a system rigged for him. Look at how he did Patterson dirty because he felt entitled to be governor. Carpetbagger!

He has known that sort of dirty shit since he was a teen… It’s a family thing. Remember when Koch ran against his dad and signs started appearing along Queens Blvd saying “Vote for Cuomo, Not the Homo!”

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Cumo is a bigger joke that Curtis Sliwa, and that’s pretty pathetic! You are the mayor NY needs!

What?!?! That is amazing.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

These people are truly evil pieces of shot, a stain on humanity. They exist to sow chaos and break the proper functioning of democracies. Truly the most deplorable losers in human history.

Seville bikelanes before

Seville bike-lanes after

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.

Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day.

Leadership.

Genesis of life. We are all star stuff

The genesis of life probably looked something like this… we are all star stuff.

The Ford family is such white trash! That is one gene pool that needs some serious chlorine!

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #2,653,727, waroncars.bsky.social ‪@waroncars.bsky.social‬, joined on Dec 21, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,653,727! It’s time to leave the cesspool of twitter for good! (haven’t even logged into that shithole in over a month)

From a guy on X.

Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.

That whole family is toxic and defective. Each one just as bad as the last one. Scum of the earth. That pool needs chlorine!

Very interesting read. The UK too?

All We've Lost: Congestion Pricing Should Have Started Today - Streetsblog New York City Let's take stock of what we've lost because the MTA's central business district cameras are not tolling drivers.

The toll so far from Kathy Hochul's #CongestionPricing reversal summed up in a single graphic, courtesy of @streetsblognyc.bsky.social. More cars on the road, more pollution in the air, more lives lost to traffic violence, more wasted time, less revenue. A dark day for NYC and the world.

This stupid bitch needs to go. No one should vote for the moron.

How fucking retarded are these chuds? Literally 2% of those below the poverty line in all 5 boroughs drive into Manhattan. That means 98% come by another means, like subway, bus, walking, biking. 2 Goddamned percent! Talk about a swing and a miss, sit your ass back on the bench, carbrain!
