mawarannahr posted:most folks I know in Seattle have had their bikes stolen multiple times. I can't imagine dropping more than like $400-500. I just walk cause I'm scared of getting run over. I have free bike parking available in the parking garage at my office downtown but I'm so close to Seattle Skid Row that even with onsite security, any bike even one worth $0 would be stolen before the end of the week. I'm thinking about getting a folding bike to store under my desk instead.

The reason I don't is I don't really have a need for a bicycle downtown. My walk to and from the bus stop is only 5 minutes on each end of my commute, and the last bus home for my route is at 6pm so I can't bike around the city after work. I can only see needing it to ride 4 blocks up to the grocery store during my lunch break for the 2 months a year the weather is pleasant enough to ride in (not rainy/smoky). I guess I'd be better off just having a helmet in my office so I can take a Lime bike but oof those things are expensive to rent. I'm trying to enjoy biking around at home but I live on a giant loving hill and looking at suburban houses the entire ride isn't particularly interesting. Unfortunately the closest paved bike path is 3 miles away (50mph highway with no bike lane) and at the bottom of my 500 ft hill.

The shot of half of central Boston just completely being bulldozed as well, I didn’t realize the West End (where Leonard Nimitz grew up) was that big and they just flattened it completely. It is pretty much just a litany of stuff like that and that is like 5% of the cities that are going to be covered. https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=11/41.693/-87.685&city=chicago-il&area=B120&adviewer=sidebar This redlining data base Is just as eye opening, I recommend you go across neighborhoods around various parts of the country and see the comments being made.

I moved back to my hometown (suburb south of Seattle) recently and was reading the local paper when I saw an article mentioning the city hosting a community input day for the new revitalized downtown project. I checked out their slide deck and was amazed at what they are doing for pedestrian and cyclist access in the downtown core, but got depressed when I thought about how I'll probably be dead of old age before any of this gets built. Also there's no way for me to get from the top of the hill where I live down to the valley without either driving or sharing the road on a bicycle with 50mph traffic and here's no bus service in my area that goes there. There's a plan to build a shared use trail down the hill to meet up with a local bike connector but there's no timeline on that project, I don't know if they've even acquired the land needed to build it.

hard to believe that cop was responding to an overdose considering it took them the better part of an hour last time I called one in and I still had to tell the meathead in charge what they were even doing there when they finally did

Baltimore has giant scars across it meant to divide. Our governor cancelled the light rail expansion that would connect east and west and funneled that money to rural highways. I know why we elected a republican and I loving hate liberals

Gunshow Poophole posted:They don’t, that’s the idea! It is why the whole thing about American liberalism having no internal ideology is ify, a system doesn't develop and do the amount of damage that happened through redlining/highway construction/urban renewal without something powering it. Modernism (and brutalism) wouldn't have happened like it did without Le Corbusier but I don't think he is really at the root of the issue. I could see people not being the greatest fan of his work, but it isn't really the heart of it. You have brutalist structures in Europe/former Soviet Union that are still integrated with a community and public transportation, perhaps they are an eye sore, but it isn't the same scale of open destruction and bleakness that dominated the flattening of America's urban cores. quote:Almost none of the other buildings planned for Berlin were ever built. Berlin was to be reorganised along a central 5-kilometre-long (3 mi) boulevard known as the Prachtallee ("Avenue/Boulevard of Splendor(s)"). This would run south from a crossroads with the East-West Axis close to the Brandenburg Gate, following the course of the old Siegesallee through the Tiergarten before continuing down to an area just west of Tempelhof Airport. This new North-South Axis would have served as a parade ground, and have been closed off to traffic. Vehicles would have instead been diverted into an underground highway running directly underneath the parade route; sections of this highway's tunnel structure were built, and still exist today. No work was ever begun above ground although Speer did relocate the Siegesallee to another part of the Tiergarten in 1938 in preparation for the avenue's construction.

exactly, I’m legit fine with the building and lots of cool brutalist stuff in a vacuum. go nuts, become one with the concrete idc but the carving and slicing of a really diverse and interesting city into a depressing and oppressive shithole makes me mad as heck. I’m not even there that often but I dread going oh I forgot to mention yesterday: David Banks, author of The City Authentic, is from Troy (Albany suburb) and did the podcast circuit about a month ago, he has lots of thoughts along these lines and real estate capitalism.
