I think the increased reliability/lifespan of practical cars has kind of compounded the effect of frequent new car buyers being bad people, resulting in bad new car(truck) models. Kind of a victim of their own success. I'm another decade plus fit owner with no real plans for something new because it seems likely to run for a while longer, but decades ago that might not be possible and I'd have to buy another practical car by now. And since the new cars being made mostly suck for what I want, I'm even more likely to hold on to what I have already forever, etc. Plus I might die when a giant pickup truck obliterates me and my fit, further reducing the chances I buy a new car

I drive a 98 camry that still has less than 100,000 miles on it. I'm the third owner. I have no idea what I'm going to do when this thing finally eventually craps out.

isn’t the average price paid for a new car in the US close to $50k now? I don’t understand how people afford multiple newer cars…

If they aren't removing bike lanes but just removing bollards how does that affect traffic in any way? They want cars to drive in the bike lanes?

Most drivers aren't even aware of the concept of not changing lanes mid-turn so have two turn lanes isn't even safe for cars

it looks like those two lanes *have to* turn right there so it would be relatively easy to fix the intersection if they had the will to do anything beyond painting lines in the street

crosswalks and sidewalks should not exist. motor vehicles can exist*, but only on a network of roads which intersect the network of pedestrian streets at as few points as possible, and never at level grade. *: busses, ambulances, trucking, etc im going to post itt every time i see a car running a red light almost hit someone in a crosswalk. today that someone was me.

City's just installed some big fuckoff speed bumps on our street and I'm positively giddy. The concept of curb extensions (really, removing curb cuts) is foreign to the city planners here so this is the next best thing. Watching cars having to actually slow down instead of trying to take as much of a racing line as they can at every intersection never gets old.
