Xaris posted:cars are good and helps marginalized bipoc elderly, dementia patients, and disabled people get around safely. not everyone can figure out a bus timeschedule and its pretty ableist to hate cars The answer to this is a dial-a-ride system, not "everyone needs cars" Also what does being bipoc have to do with mobility?

Kicked Throat posted:How about we install a front facing camera with a projector on the roof beaming the precious images of mangled toddlers everyone is so desperate to see onto the hood? Maybe the camera will have captured the lovely parenting(or lack thereof) that led to the child being in the road in the first place. How about you go play in traffic?

Sphyre posted:i dunno. i've seen people arguing that we shouldn't bother with investing in public transit/cycling/mode shift away from cars because soon we'll all be summoning self driving teslas whenever we need to go somewhere. it's one of the more infuriating variants of musk brain because putting aside the fact that a world with self driving cars would still have all the same issues as our current car dependent world, self driving cars don't exist! and they won't ever exist! it's loving vaporware!

Zeppelin Insanity posted:Car brain is so powerful and so prevalent that I wonder if there is actually more to it than just the societal/psychological components. I think the most consistently angry I've ever been in my life was a summer internship where I had to car commute (every job since I've been able to bike, transit or WFH). Rarely the drive too work, but driving home in a hot car that had spent the last 8 hours baking in the sun mad me madder than hell.

leftist heap posted:gentrification is the new frontier of anti-ped/anti-cyclist carbrain activists latching onto legitimate issues and completely loving muddying the water to get what they want. just like how they will tell you that removing any parking whatsoever hurts accessibility or how cyclists are actually all privileged. it sucks. yeah, it's the same logic as saying "well of course we can't close the carcinogenic refinery in this part of town, it would spike property values and gentrify the last affordable neighborhood in the city."

actionjackson posted:I don't know if there's a name for it, but when a street curves to the right or left 90 degrees - it's right by my place and I hate using it because cars just fly around that thing as you can't see who is coming, and there's no stop sign. a speed bump on both sides would be nice, or at least don't have parking in the immediate vicinity I'd probably call it a blind corner

Last summer we moved to a less dense, single family home part of the city & it shocked me the first time I looked out the window and thought "who the gently caress parked in front of my house. The antisocial & possessive psychopathy of this country is rooted very deep indeed.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I get the impression that most cities can't fund free transit right now, so I'm fine with paying. Just make it easy. We've had free buses here for a couple of years, but the city's debating reinstating fares because they can't afford more frequent service without it. Yeah, we had free transit for a month as a pilot program this month (cool, yay!) but the network was struggling operationally even before covid since operators were underpaid, understaffed & most bus lines have like, 30 min headways at best (boo, poo poo).

Fitzy Fitz posted:Suburbanites are so committed to their lifestyle that they'll not only shoot down commuter rail in their own communities but also transit/zoning reform in the city itself. My hope is that if you fix the city itself, it'll be such a disincentive for suburban commuters that they might have to reconsider their lifestyle. It's only possible in the first place because cities cater to it. Yeah, urban cores need to become actively hostile towards autos from the suburbs.

Like winter follows autumn and buses are worse than cars, just a fact of nature.

I think any driver that kills a non-driver and receives no charges should face justice at the hands of a mob. If we're going to change car culture we need people to literally be afraid for their future when getting behind the wheel.

And the claim that it's the path to "mastering" one's neighborhood is some real shadows on the cave wall poo poo. Like you will never meet your neighbors driving everywhere, you'll never find magical little foot paths or shortcuts, you'll never stop to appreciate someone's garden or little pieces of art on the light posts.

My last job, on nice days and/or if I'd grabbed a couple of beers after work & didn't feel like waiting for a bus that only came every 20 minutes I'd walk the 2.5 miles home. It took like 45mins - 1 hour. The more you do it, the easier it gets because your brain lets you tune out longer/safer/less complicated stretches.

Car -> Cart seems less jarring than Car -> Bike & could be a nice way to get folks with carbrain to see their interests align with us sicko-coastal-elitists that want to ride (e)bikes everywhere. "Hey, if you invest in this infrastructure in your neighborhood, you could ride an electric golf cart in it and avoid traffic!"
