Hey, how dare you? Those people might live on a mountain top, or have to drive down dirt roads while intermittently crossing creeks to get home!

lol theres an intersection with a light half a mile up the road but no crosswalk https://www.google.com/maps/@33.940...i8192?entry=ttu

Which is surprising, because this is a state highway. GDOT will put in the full crosswalk infrastructure at an intersection miles from anything because it's part of their SOP, but they're simultaneously incapable of designing a street that's actually pedestrian friendly

local police are asking for help to look for someone who hit a 9 year old selling lemonade on the sidewalk and drove off (she's going to be okay thankfully her injuries were minor)

Georgia has the same sort of concept of unmarked crosswalks that Pennsylvania does, not that it'll help you when Clem runs you over with his truck.

we just had someone visit us who rented a car through Turo which is apparently like Airbnb for cars.

and, just like Airbnb, there are folks who just own dozens of cars strictly for the purpose of renting them on Turo (where they expect you to clean and wash it before returning it?)

I wonder why stock of new cars is so low.

The trick is that the feminine pronouns are only used for real persons, and the victim, not being in a car, was obviously not a real person and would thus be referred to as "it".

I don't know if Turo is nearly as common as Air BnB because Turo (at least originally) was catering to people to rent out their exotics and luxury cars. With stuff like Zipcar, renting normal cars is much cheaper than it used to be now, so you need to be renting out something special. Vehicles are definitely more of a scam/theft risk too.

If anyone is really trying to have a side business through lending out their own vehicles for car rentals, then more power to them. I would not do it.

thinking hard about the guy I talked to a year or two back who said that auto prices skyrocketing wouldn't affect him, because he'd just buy old Toyotas and repair them himself. Surely no one else with deeper pockets has that idea.

They weren't guessing at all, they deliberately created artificial country estates for white people only and stuck everyone else in the decaying remnants of the cities that whites abandoned.

https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/Federal-Housing-Administration-Underwriting-Manual.pdf

The 1936 HUD underwriting manual straight up says that underwriting "racially unharmonious" developments wouldn't be permitted.
