Opening with the story of Rob parking shittily in their spots intentionally as a gag is interesting, I was driving home once and imagined that somebody parked in my spot in my apartment's underground, and just the idea of it made me absolutely furious. This completely imagined scenario which did not and has never happened, and which would barely have inconvenienced me, still managed to make me extremely angry. And I'm a pretty easy going person by nature. The moral of the story is that cars turn people into monsters.

Petanque posted:if you convert USD to CAD it's 2.12/L which is basically what it is here in montréal See I thought about including that conversion, but keep in mind that Americans are being paid in USD, and their median household income is basically identical to ours (with California's being much higher). There's probably more inequality at play which is an issue of course, but that's still basically Alberta pricing, not civilized place pricing.

Ardennes posted:Yeah, a big issue with North American transit as a whole isn't actually a lack of lack coverage in suburbs (a lot of cities have commuter rail) but that agencies still run (for a variety of reasons) heavy commuter trains with diesel locomotives that are extremely expensive to run. If you electrified the line and ran much smaller/light cars (as in the rest of the world), it would be a lot easier to do normal rapid transit. Yeah and in a place like Calgary where there never was commuter heavy rail, you'll find effective light rail systems, but ones that are exclusively designed to move workers to downtown in the morning, and out of it in evening. Everybody who doesn't live close enough to walk to a rail station drives there because the bus service is atrocious (30 minute intervals, winding circuitous routes through suburbs), and if you want to get anywhere outside of that operational peak, or god forbid off the train network (a category which includes the airport) be prepared for that trip to take 2+ hours. They're working at making things better, but progress is unbelievably slow.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Speed limits are set for revenue generation not safety. gently caress off. no they aren't you loving dumbass. This is the kind of poo poo that teenagers believe.Speed limits are routinely "too low" relative to how wide and straight the roads are, but this has nothing to do with police ticketing people, and everything to with:
Police absolutely do not need speed limits to issue tickets, you can go to any busy suburban intersection and see dozens of moving violations in an hour. They do primarily enforce speed limits because it's easy.

Pryor on Fire posted:It would be nice if there were some way to fix issues with car safety without just directly dumping money into the police armored fighting vehicle fund. I mean there's a fun and most importantly equitable way to do it cameras logging the times license plates go past them and then billing you if you cover the distance between them too fast, a bunch of European countries do it.

Xaris posted:the funniest thing is intersections where they explicitly have many signs saying NO TURN ON RED, carbrains gett insanely upset when you don't run the red light and start honking even though there's a sign in their face saying NO TURN ON RED There was a relatively famous incident in my city a few years ago, filmed from nearby building, where some driver was just leaning on his horn, furious that the person in front of them wasn't turning right on red, and thus preventing them from turning right on red. Queue 30 seconds of continuous horn before the light turns green, and it's revealed that the simple reason the first car wasn't turning is because they intended to go straight! What a world.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Red Light Camera's are literally a scam though. They create a perverse incentive to make whatever failson ran company that profits from them change the timings to both increase accidents and make intersection less safe for everyone. Or you know, you don't subcontract it out (I know, I know,  ) or you don't give them control of the light timings which is much easier. Like are cities down in The Bad Place actually allowed private companies to set traffic light timings?E: lol that is not the emote I expected but I like it

Houston has all sorts of restrictions on what you can build, including large parking minimums and 25ft setbacks in most of the city. They just don't call it zoning. https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/2020/01/09/no-zoning-in-Houston-there-are-workarounds
