Just watching a british TV show where the presenters try to help some couples find a house to buy that meets all their requirements and budget. In this episode there's a couple who are looking for something in a town within walking distance to bars and cafes etc. but the guy is absolutely insistent that they need a private parking space as well (not just street parking). Completely rejected a significantly larger and nicer house because it didn't have a parking spot, it's not like they actually have any legitimate requirement for a parking space as the guy's car is a bog standard Mazda, not an EV or a sports car or something. Just nuts how much people are willing to give up in exchange for a few square meters of flat ground.

I've driven that road a bunch and its a 2 lane like 30mph with a curve But you know, you couldn't put a wall or something in the curve end because then a poor car might hurt itself.

Good on him for being responsible with their things and not wanting to fill public infrastructure with automotive trash, that was his reasoning right?

Parisians are banning rental scoots. Thoughts? I personally think they'd have a place in walkable cities if they were geofenced to designated parking areas and fines were issued for chucking them into the woods and what not.

My house has a huge parking space in front that we're working on turning into something with flowers and beer spots. The former owner had major car brain. Our former neighbour was pretty cool, no license and pretty cool all round, but she sold the house to a car brained guy who is now turning the front yard into parking. Just incredibly sad, some pretty good berry bushes have already been killed. He's also super into complete monoculture grass. The road is also lousy with parked cars. What I'm saying is that cars take up hella space that could be used for berries or beer or bees.

cat botherer posted:Scooters can be annoying (blocking sidewalks, dumped in rivers, whatever), but cars do all of that but worse. IMO, banning or strictly regulating any non-car transport is just the wrong move. Scooters are popular where I live. A lot of people riding them would be in cars otherwise. Scooters are also beloved by dentists. Speed and acceleration probably should be capped lower on them, and they are annoying, but getting rid of them wholesale seems the wrong move.

Everyone just hates scooters because a bunch of VC startups dumped them all over the place and left cities to figure out what to do about it. Rental scooters are good.

Last I checked they've got a median operating lifetime of 29 days. If that's even close to true nowadays that's an insane waste of lithium.

Scooters are also beloved by dentists. It's like drugs and alcohol. Drugs get restricted, but alcohol, while far worse, was grandfathered in as Good. Scooters are okay. The people renting them are sometimes bad at respecting others, but that's also true of rental bikes. And young men in general.

Those numbers were when random companies were dumping them in random cities in the US with VC money and didn't know what they were doing. Paris has apparently had them in 2018 so I imagine the numbers there look nothing like that. Trying to use data from the US for transit/micromobility and assuming it applies to somewhere like Paris is just dumb. If you took US data for bike infrastructure and trains you would reach the conclusion that none of it could possibly work in Europe because it doesn't work in the US mystes has issued a correction as of 20:06 on Apr 5, 2023 |

The scooter stuff is funny, but anyone who actually seems to care about them while ignoring the car problem is either a disingenuous rear end in a top hat or a credulous idiot. They really don't matter.

The nice thing about scooters is that you can push them out of the way when they are blocking the sidewalk or bike lane. Also, people don't threaten to murder you when you touch them.

Cool go post about it in the scooters are bad thread.

Actually some people are in wheelchairs and it's ableist for you not to scream and cry about scooters being left on the sidewalk.

There's an old guy here who gets off the T and uses the nearest rental scooter as a rolling crutch to get home. hopefully he throws them in the woods after he's done.

Scooters are also beloved by dentists. the number of cars in bodies of water (often with bodies in them) is not something most people really understand. if it's deep enough that a car can be not visible without searching, there's probably a car in it, or likely more than one. magnet fishers keep finding them and then they get them hauled out and whoops solved a missing persons case from 40 years ago.
