ate poo poo on live tv posted:If you buy an SUV gently caress you. I can forgive moving to the suburbs, I can forgive private school, I can forgive all that other stuff. But buying an SUV is a non-coerced individual choice with a better alternative. But it's made because when it comes down to it, they are a liberal and believe nothing. But hey who will care if the smallest car you can get is a $50k mid-size SUV when all houses will cost $2 million and up and all roads will have been widened to double their current width

Seattle, home of the Climate Pledge Arena, tore down a highway along the waterfront and spent $4 billion to replace it with a giant car tunnel under downtown. And then just also built a new high speed stroad along the waterfront.

mystes posted:Until in a few more years when they'll have finished discontinuing everything but SUV's and trucks (or, who knows, maybe they'll have literally made smaller cars illegal because they're unsafe in collisions with other SUV's and trucks). Yea, it's almost impossible to get non-suvs now. But a few years ago that wasn't the case, and yet every person who owns an SUV chose that SUV. In a just world they'd be thrown into a gulag, but as of now I'll settle for a gas tax that will hit SUV owners the hardest, because they absolutely deserve it.

I just started reading The Grapes of Wrath and it's funny to think of people back then hacking apart their cars to turn them into trucks so they could move their stuff. Soon the megatrucks are gonna start shedding pieces to get more than 10 mpg. or likely, the megacab ones are just going to turn into the modern mini mobile home.

Mike McGinn was a huge bicycle advocate, and his biggest sin was being right about everything, so the CHUD city council (led by a piece of poo poo pig motherfucker) fought him on loving everything. Then, the Chamber of Commerce and said city council decided they'd rather work with a child molester, so that's who we got.

One way they should measure the pedestrian friendliness of a street is how easily you can hold a conversation with someone or talk on the phone without raising your voice or pausing for loud vehicles to pass. Or have a pleasant meal at a sidewalk table. I don't think that Seattle street would do well.

As a daily commute agreed. However if I lived in DC/NYC and needed to travel to NYC/DC once a month or something, I would absolutely travel by train. I wonder if it's possible to take a train from Chicago to either NYC/DC and get there the same day. I bet not, but maybe. Not the worst. Can get a room on the Capitol Limited for $650 for an 18hr journey. Obviously if this were a civilized nation like China it would be ~6hrs but I'm surprised that it's even possible within a day with a train in the US at all. ate shit on live tv has issued a correction as of 01:55 on Mar 9, 2022 |

Van lyfe is the new living in a trailer park. Just lol that people assume you'll even be able to buy a car in 10 years, they'll be so expensive everyone will rent one, but there will also be no alternative options so everyone will have to.

When car-brained people make computer games.. they design even the Statue of Liberty with a CAR PARK. In front of the statue, not even behind! What is more important than the Statue of Liberty? Of course the people's cars when people use their car to come watch the statue!

speaking of single tracking and freight priority lol, lmao they used the pandemic ridership drop to force the state to let freight trains run on the rail lines during the day. one of the big selling points of the commuter trains was that not only would they bypass traffic, but they'd just zip through crossings instead of parking for 20 minutes like freight does. now they're slower (freight priority) AND the freight trains snarl traffic during rush hour. taking the train for the first time in a few years today since i'm actually needing to go where it goes when it's open for once. can't wait to see how much they've hosed it up! wonder if their garbage overpriced payment system is still costing them more than it's making in revenue. It's so well designed that it helpfully told me my CVV was invalid because it's unpossible that any bank could randomly assign 000.
