Still plenty of areas where folks don't have phones, a lot of times fewer women than men own phones in low income areas. My father in law doesn't own a phone because he hates them and is old as hell. You are correct of course, a cursory search reveals about 60% of people have phones. That's 4.8 billion people. 4.8 billion cars. And it is not so much the tweeter but the idea that I wish to present. It is not more or less wrong based on how famous this fellow is.

You're right. I'm sorry for attacking this dork's lack of followers and likes when I should have just attacked his ideas.

Philly's stadium area is also served by our BSL subway but has an enormous surface parking lot surrounding it https://www.google.com/maps/@39.905794,-75.1696369,1898m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e2?hl=en&entry=ttu There are at least some plans about developing the area, maybe. https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/commercial/phillies-sixers-south-philadelphia-sports-complex-comcast-20240321.html

I used to live a five-minute walk from the soccer/football stadium and a ten-minute walk from the baseball stadium in Seattle. It was pretty awesome. People with spare tickets could call me after kickoff, and I could make the game easy. Had season tickets for a few years, too, it was a great investment. Could not recommend more, I really miss it, but it was have that, or own a house.

Atlanta managed to build a new stadium with no giant parking lots, and it's still almost entirely inaccessible without a car. An island in a sea of highways.

Zero traffic getting out, but torrential downpour soaked us on the way back. Infinitely better than driving.

The fiesta has been replaced with the puma, which is only very slightly larger. It's extremely disingenuous to refer to it as a SUV, it's a compact car with crossover styling. In fact, the list of objections to trucks that also apply to SUVs generally don't apply to most crossovers which for instance have front ends at fairly normal heights and aren't much bigger than normal cars. This is not the only crossover being offered by Ford in 2024. Oh and the fiesta was discontinued last year and originally built in the 70s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Puma_(crossover)

wikipedia informs me that the puma is a “subcompact crossover SUV” whatever the gently caress that is. i guess this is just what regular cars are like now due to unchecked interbreeding with SUVs
