Went fully red mad and nude when I was walking home last year in Brooklyn and thinking about how much my urban environment and local politics are bent and broken in order to accommodate cars, and how they are the major hazard to my health and safety until I'm old enough that heart attacks take over, and how that's all for the benefit of a minority of people here And that despite all that, how much land and health and money and quiet and peace of mind and blood are all spent on appeasing the oil burning demons, this is considered a car hostile city.

Basically if your cities plan for light rail doesn't involve closing streets to cars and rezoning easements, then it's just a grift for federal dollars and usability isn't even a consideration.

the bitcoin of weed posted:everywhere in the US i've been with light rail it basically just exists to shuttle people from the airport or the suburbs to and from the downtown business zones Can confirm. I do actually live very close to one of Minneapolis's light rail stations and used it regularly back in the Before Times, but it's pretty much useful for going downtown, to the airport, or to the Mall of America. Once they finish the latest expansion (sometime next year I think) I'll actually be able to take it to work when I need to be in the office. That'll be nice.

Oh, and because we're sharing war stories, when I was a teenager I got hit off my bike by a truck and sometimes I think about how I am drat lucky to be alive. Had a hairline fracture in that little ring at the edge of your pelvis (which was pretty drat painful, especially since they didn't spot it at first since, you know, that's in an area of the body they usually shield during x-rays) but I could easily have had my brains splattered all over the pavement. (What's a 'helmet'?) And then I think about how the dude who hit me was the unofficial mechanic for my hometown police department which is why I initially was considered at fault for the accident (dude literally made a left turn and hit me, but tried to insist that I'd hit him). I swear to god, one of the citations was "obeying all traffic laws". I ended up having to go to juvenile court and the "referee" (which I got instead of a judge)...I have never seen such a look on someone's face trying not to openly laugh as she wrote DISMISSED across the ticket in giant letters.

actionjackson posted:what's your rent lol congrats, you're probably the first person to note that the rent in cities is higher than the rent in car-dependent places. I should save money by moving to the suburbs, buying a $30k car, and getting a job that pays half as much nyc rent can be stupid expensive, especially if you live alone, but if you have a roommate or significant other it's not hard to spend <$1000 on rent. I've lived in a bunch of places here and never spent more than that for my share of the rent Polo-Rican has issued a correction as of 21:01 on Sep 20, 2021 |

I'm not sure that's worth the tradeoff. I only drive like 2k/miles a year so I get insurance that charges by the mile, it ends up being no more than 50-60/month.
