Drivers and flyers owned by snowflakes, I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present. Trains, meanwhile, are doing metal poo poo like lighting their switches and tracks on fire.

Bikes are pretty efficient at saving energy though, that's why they have wheels and are pretty light. The goal of a good bike is to use as little energy to move as possible (so you can go fast/far).

https://twitter.com/UrbanistOrg/status/1605941287076564993 Yes the tunnel cost $4 billion and is going bankrupt because nobody uses it but at least it freed up the waterfront to become a park Jk, we widened the streets there too and are building a new high-speed thoroughfare link but at least traffic is fixed Jk

If your downtown doesn't have hazmats in accident-prone moving containers, is it even worth living in?

CopperHound posted:Was that tunnel made to replace the stacked above ground freeway, or in addition to the stacked freeway? It was to replace it, which was then demolished (admittedly it should have gone a while ago). There was a proposal to widen surface streets instead but instead pushed for a tunnel for a route that never got a tremendous amount of traffic in the first place. Also, there are building an above ground highway now as well even though the tunnel has plenty of capacity which means the tunnel will probably see almost no use. Oh and yeah there used to be a streetcar line that could have been hooked into the rest of the network, but they got rid of that too.

SF has actually been making some okay choices in recent years. I think the Central Subway was necessary to eventually hook up with Waterfront/Marine with the rest of the city along with the Van Ness BRT. The Geary BRT lanes seem actually useful as well. In addition, I was rather impressed with the improvements with the Presidio. Cal train electrification should also help. As an American city, it really isn't that bad beyond the strict limitations of BART. I wouldn't say the same for the rest of the Bay Area though. Portland opened a "BRT-light" on Division but after a few months they found out the new buses were defective... Ardennes has issued a correction as of 23:50 on Dec 22, 2022 |

Yeah, workers and resources is great in that it makes private car ownership a deliberate choice you have to make as a "prestige" thing, and then it immediately fucks everything you worked so hard to build. Incredible, 10/10 no notes.

City skylines has a lot of transit options, they just don’t have the whole production/resources aspect. That said, I think you need mods for slightly more esoteric stuff. The original Simcity was really simplified and only had rail or roads. 2000 had subways and buses but subways were pretty awkward to build.

yeah that is one of the things that cities skylines does that separate it from basically all of the "modern"-type city builders that came before is that it actually models pedestrians and bikes as valid transportation methods (in addition to busses and trains and subways and so on) and I think now it even has a way to do pedestrian-only areas by default instead of needing a mod? anyway, it's a real neat citybuilder slash traffic sim where you can really get in to playing around with trying to model non-carbrained cities and I recommend it and people who are just building satan's spaghetti freeway interchanges are missing the best parts of it imho colossal order started out making the cities in motion games which are literally entirely about building mass transit infrastructure inside an existing city and that mindset and experience definitely shines through into skylines

every so often i get this little magazine in the mail from the college within the U of Minn. that I graduated from look at this stupid poo poo "We don't just want to make the car smart - we also want to make the infrastructure smart by using advanced network communication technologies such as 5G and edge computing" "Think of it as air traffic control, but for self-driving vehicles. Zhang's team will develop new models and algorithms to move us closer to edge-assisted intelligent driving systems. Unlike the larger-scale cloud computing, edge computing puts the data closer to the location where it's being generated, at the "edge" of the network. actionjackson has issued a correction as of 18:18 on Dec 23, 2022 |
