While not exactly car hate, I would argue that airport infrastructure tends to be way more car-oriented than train station infrastructure, and therefore this is relevant to our interests: https://twitter.com/carltonreid/status/1599348257917902848?s=20&t=SrC5MmxYgAUpF-DikWiZjA

Yes, this looks modern and efficient, not like a bad idea that someone tried to fix by adding more of the bad idea.

I love how you can just do whatever now and claim it's a victory for climate goals, provided what you're doing isn't degrowth or reduction in consumption

*New York Times voice* Here's how cars and roading projects are leading the fight against climate change. Enjoy our other headlines: Analysis: Could climate pressures see the internal combustion engine make a comeback? The Ten Greenest Highways in America Long Read: I used to think cars were the problem. But then I looked into how people actually use them. Is walking really zero emissions? The hidden costs of pedestrian infrastructure. Opinion: There's a big green elephant in the room. It's time we talked about it. We hear from three experts on how cycling can actually increase total carbon emissions.

They're finally building a train there, even though that should have been in since the beginning. In Paris I can go from De Gaulle to fricken Disneyland with only one train change, here you can't get in and out of the airport without some kind of car or bus.

Not to defend air travel, but airports are among the worst places to go by car, since you will be leaving your car there while you go far away, usually for at least a week. So you either need even more massive amounts of parking space or public transportation. Even my car brained relatives will take the train to the airport because of that hassle.

SeaTac has the world's second-largest parking lot. Detroit's airport has the third-largest.

I saw a beater GMC Sierra that must've been at least two decades old while driving to work the other night and was amazed at how reasonably sized it was. Easily like half the size of the newer pickups nowadays.

skooma512 posted:LAX is a loving nightmare, even outside of holidays. The rumor was that the cab companies had pushed against the train getting anywhere near the terminal. Also, the latest train needs two different transfers to go from downtown LA (in 2023 when the people mover is open) to get from downtown LA to the actual terminal (and would probably take an hour and a half+). In Moscow you can get a train that goes directly to the terminal of all three major airports without a transfer in 30-45 minutes from central Moscow. London is fairly similar. LA even as far as the US goes just is just hopeless even with new lines (also the new lines still don't have their own right-aways which slows everything down to a crawl).

This mostly hurts small sailing boats in real life though.
