yea, and so was my mandatory sterilization and lobotomy. failing to see the relevance...

cities produce most of the economic activity and tax revenue in america, so why do our tax dollars pay farmers not to grow tobacco and build highways to nowhere? maybe we should invest tax dollars in the fertile soil from which they came: big fuckin cities

new york, chicago, philadelphia, boston, LA, et al are hurting for money because you can only tax people so much, and their high-income citizens are already getting it good and hard from uncle sam.

well, shaggs, that's how it works when you're a rich person in a city instead of a rich person in bumfuck nowhere. i live in a city and i never ride the bus, because i can afford to live and work near a train, and if i need to go somewhere else, i use a car.

there doesn't really exist a world where you or I ride the bus (unless we are old or sick or disabled)

the bus isn't really for us, but we still need buses. every idiot on a bus is an idiot who isn't blocking my car

also, industry tends not to be built in high density corridors. but they still need folk to operate the machines, those people need to get to work somehow

parents with children, old folks, and people with temporary disabilities fall through the slots on these sorts of plans

the distances you can walk comfortably are not the only distances that matter. there are lots and lots and lots of people who are not going to take paratransit, but are not adequately served by the combination of walking + trains.

I was specifically referring to young able-bodied people who will take an uber 1/3 of a mile from one bar to another

In Budapest there is a transit museum that is also pretty chill. Fun fact, Budapest has the first and oldest still operating subway line on the continent - the yellow line 1 which has been in operation since 1896.

The worst things to put on fries that I have heard of, an exhaustive list:

1. poutine
2. mayonnaise
3. cheese
4. ketchup
5. chili

Acceptable things to put on fries, assuming they are already salted:

1. vinegar, maybe
2. nothing

Fight me if you disagree. God grant victory to the just.
