It may have changed in the time since that article was written, and there may be competitors who are better. Be safe, yo.

Doc Hawkins posted:SpongeBob eternally studying to get a driver's license fits into his core gag: he is not fully either an adult or a child The driving school stuff came about when Nickelodeon wanted to change Spongebob to a school kid, because kids in school was their "formula for success"- Steve Hillenburg has described what they wanted as Hey Arnold under the sea. Keeping Spongebob an adult and putting him in driving school was a clever compromise to technically give the suits what they wanted but leave the core idea untouched. Also adding to the 'gently caress cars' sentiment. I prefer a commute to work where I don't have to wonder how many cases of childhood asthma and sleep apnea I contributed to in every residential area I passed.

I don't know if it's still trendy but there was a trend toward fancier outdoor malls in the US starting like 15 years ago. Some of them are sort designed so that they're theoretically kind of walkable but basically they're just strip malls that are reconfigured so they don't look like strip malls and in practice everyone just parks right next to the store they're going to anyway because of american carbrain.

Admittedly, in most of the US malls are either closed or were built at some time before the 1980s. The move to outdoor malls is still pretty limited. Also, malls in Turkey, especially Istanbul really seemed to be places for people to throw money around. Russia seems somewhere in between where there are a lot of newer indoor malls with a more general line of stores. I don’t really have a problem with them since they usually have metro or public transit connections and serve a purpose (people need somewhere to go during the winter). In general, it doesn’t really seemed to have had the sort of corrosive effect on society as the US. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 14:11 on May 25, 2022 |

That's basically making the area into a giant mall, and Americans love malls Americans love malls because malls are public spaces under private ownership and the private ownership gets to decide who hangs out there, unlike the public park or main street shopping district. James Kunstler is a crank now but he goes into detail on this in The Geography of Nowhere, Americans prefer spaces where they're segregated away from lower classes because we are trained from birth to be insanely classist and follow a caste system.

American malls were quite literally real estate depreciation scams born from 1950s-era segregationist financial policies that encouraged developers to build in the (white-by-design and federally subsidized) new suburbs while denying the same kind of financial breaks to developers that were building in / renovating urban shopping areas. They were 100% intended to be tools of segregation, just like the FHA policies that channeled white Americans to subsidized artificial country estates whlie channeling everyone else to afterthought urban housing projects.

The 1936 FHA Underwriting Manual explicitly said that race mixing wasn't going to be allowed in FHA-underwritten housing developments http://fhact50.org/cool_timeline/1936-fha-underwriting-manual-promotes-racial-segregation/ https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/Federal-Housing-Administration-Underwriting-Manual.pdf US tax policy subsidized building retail near these new housing developments that were deliberately segregated by race and gatekept by the residents' ability to buy cars. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2169635 Racism, suburbanization, and car-dependency were all deliberately interwoven in post-war US development and urban decay was the intended result.

I think unfortunately all the traffic engineering manuals in the US recommend this dumb pre-intersection crossing thing for some reason. In this case they probably think they have made it better by angling it more so that the cars have more of a chance of seeing the bikes. The dutch solve these problems by having better signaling but apparently we're too cheap for that in the US or we don't realize it's possible, and I guess preventing cars from turning right at any point in the cycle is not acceptable. mystes has issued a correction as of 15:38 on May 25, 2022 |

There is actually an even simpler solution. You add big curbs that force the car to turn and meet the bicycle path perpendicularly. This forces the bicycle path directly in front of the drivers view.
