you say "ban cars" and every last meatball goes "but my cr-v / range rover / f-150 !!!!"

you go "parking lots are an absolute loving blight, get rid of them" and the suburbanites who want a nice little park go "yeah!" and then 2 years later "why do I even have this hulking tank? I'll get rid of it too"

the solution to the problem, wait for it, is for gas to become too expensive for suburbs to exist. also affordable urban housing.

I would bet that grants for suburbs will run out,
Plumbing would clog up, Electric lines will be cut, and water lines will dry up.

The conductor of that train probably got pretty hosed up, no way they could know if the truck cab was empty :(

I'm not sure this is true, PROTECT OUR PARKING is like one of the top issues in local elections.

america loves cars because they have some of the highest externality costs. america doesn't love capitalism, it loves making other people hold the bag.

yep. this is my problem with using ICE woes/emissions as the focal point for car hate (not itt, i mean the general public and legislators), it completely misses the point that you need a couple tons of steel and plastic to build one, insane amounts of concrete and asphalt to support them, and all the knock on effects on society from sprawling people out and making them all anti social and insular/individualist. car focused cities are the problem, not cars. a car is just a machine, same as any other

Freeway is then filled to capacity, and it takes longer to get to work because people from further out, commute.

That tweet doesn't, but WISN is miraculously using language that acknowledges there was a driver behind the wheel instead of pretending cars are somehow capable of doing these things on their own.

We'll see how long before and editor comes in and changes it to the more common, victim-blamey, agency-denying variant: "A troupe of Dancing Grannies was struck by an SUV".

Will they though? Everyone switching over to electric vehicles would require upgrading and expanding the electric grid and that's not something the US does anymore. Not even mentioning the extra generation capacity required. Additionally it will likely drive the price of electricity so high as to make suburban living even more unaffordable.

I mean most people in the suburbs are in detached single family homes with garages, so I wouldn't think adding a charger would be a major issue
