Yes but that’s socialist.

And goes against my donors paycheck.

/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn’t rely on cars.

I’ve only rented an ev, but only about half the time they have successfully taken a cc. Either they were broken, or it was just missing.

A lot of them have apps, which is very annoying as a renter, but if you own the car it should be less of an issue.

Afaik you don’t actually need to purchase a subscription to use them.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

They will be safe to eat indefinitely, but may not be palatable, depending on how it’s stored.

Those lots are probably a quarter the size of the lot I’m on, in a affluent suburban house. Maybe even smaller

Its true that it’s not that dense though.

It’s also pretty likely that there are more residents per house than a typical affluent neighborhood.

A lot of strong towns framing uses “financial productivity” defined as tax revenue per unit area, usually acre. Poor neighborhood’s houses may be cheap, but are packed much more densely, leading to higher revenue per unit area. less in taxes per lot, but also lower maintenance costs per lot.

Sounds like intels optane drives

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

That would ne ideal, but sadly city planning in the United states is too political.

We’ll never get anything done relying on city planning, so the only thing that seems possible is to improve the city organically, through markets.

I don’t disagree, but where I live zoning is a large part of the problem

The zoning in my area perpetuates unwalkable, uncyclable, parking lot infested sprawl, because single family houses take up 84% of the available land.

I don’t want industry to move into neighborhoodseither , but I wouldn’t mind commercial or retail, currently prohibited.

Parking lots waste a lot of area that could be green space too.

But yes overdevelpment could be a problem , but is easily fixed by adding a green space rule to development. Like we have now for minimum parking and such.

Also high speed roads destroy a lot of green space too, with nothing in the median or a good chunk on either side, and huge empty areas in dead zones of interchanges.

Lets not think cuurent car use is good for green space.

I dont mean throw out zoning entirely, but reducing the way they promote single family housing only. I live in a county with a million people and 84% of the land is single family zoning only, I want to throw that bit out.

Also if done right you dont need to zoning for all those things. Transit development will drive denser, walkable areas all on its own if its legal to build those kinds of areas. All the city has to do it manage transit as these areas develop.

I agree, it seems like it should be easy to convince libertarians and conservatives with deregulations, but exactly how to frame that argument is tricky.

He talks about the intersection a lot, but the main problem with this intersection has nothing to do with the intersection itself. It’s the surrounding area that backs up into and causes it to fail.

Driving requires courtesy and attention, but overreliance on cars make people the opposite.

People get frustrated driving in traffic, causing them to be rude and agressive.

Meanwhile if driving is the only way to get around, even for easily distracted people or busy or whatever, they are not going to pay proper attention. Safety features like blind spot detection and automatic crash avoidance just make people pay even less attention.

You say the problem isn’t cars, but it is because in america cars are the only way to get around for most trips.

If you make other options more conpelling or faster, than these problems are less severe for those left on the road.

You can always count on people to be irresponsible, selfish, and reckless. So yeah its bad road design to count on people to be safe, when they just aren’t.

Drivers don’t t have to look left on right in green, so should naturally look in the direction they’re going, and thus see pedestrians and cyclists.

They also have time to spot them while waiting.

In the Netherlands they use bike lanes.

A two way bike lane is wide enough for emergency vehicles like an ambulance, and bikers get out of the way.
