The intersection near me's extremely dangerous. It's a two-way stop with the no-stop cross-street on an incline and with a 35mph speed limit even though its a residential street. You can't see the oncoming traffic due to the on-street parking. I see an accident there once every two months. When's the city going to get off its rear end and upgrade this to a traffic light or at least make it a two-way street so traffic slows down?

My local goth club has become such a large tourist attraction that now it's infested with old people wearing crocs and plays boring generic club music to appeal to them

i live in an extremely hot and dry city that has many patches of empty dry grass and dead trees. we are in the middle of a historic drought. my apartment complex is right next to a big and relatively empty arroyo, which in one sense is lovely because its full of coyotes and red tail hawks, but is also scary because its full of more dry grass and dead trees and its also the place where some of my neighbors like to go at night to detonate fireworks. not just on holidays or after games but almost every night. i wish they would not!Aegis Bear posted:My local goth club has become such a large tourist attraction that now it's infested with old people wearing crocs and plays boring generic club music to appeal to them drat that is terrible

also i live next to the oldest freeway in the united states. it was designed for cars that go 40 mph. it has barely been changed since those days, its very twisty and in my neighborhood instead of proper on ramps you just have to make a 90 degree turn from a stop sign into 70 mph traffic that you can barely see coming because there are so many blind curves on the thing. the exits are similarly dicey. people gently caress it up all the time and once or twice a day the cops are stopping all the traffic to mop it up. at night its a race course.

My neighborhood is on top of a really steep hill that they refuse to plow half the time. There's usually at least 6-12 times every winter that I'm forced to very cautiously drive down an icy hill at 7 am, or drive 20 minutes out of my way on back roads that are also not plowed.

MMMmmmm You'll love it and everyone will high-five themselves for 'modernizing' the area at the cost of millions while never reducing accidents or improving traffic flow. However, they will have PowerPoints. So. Many. Power. Points.

Big Beef City posted:Wait until they turn it into a round-a-bout. There is an intersection here (Eastern Parkway and Preston street in Louisville if you want to look on google maps, where I live’s no secret at this point) that they desperately wanted to be a roundabout-bout when they designed it in the 50s but decided against it. Instead the road splits in two one way sides only 150 feet apart each one having its own traffic light. There is no left turns allowed for the second one because the distance is too short for any sort of line without blocking the first one’s intersection so if you’re traveling west and want to go south you have to go north and then cut through a White Castle parking lot and then turn left again. The roundabouts we do have over by Cherokee park all have stop signs before you can join them so it’s probably is for the best.

There was an "unmask the kids" protest on our main street the day before yesterday. Yesterday the city newspaper reported that corona has now swept the high school football team. Small towns suck. I mean, they don't suck as much as the burbs but man they still loving suck.

Where I live north of Green Bay there's a pretty heavy thoroughfare, that, probably over the course of about 10 years or so, replaced every single intersection it had from one end to the other with round-a-bouts which, in itself is fine, I mean, whatever they kinda suck but do the job same as anything I guess. But they were touted as being the 'end all be all' of traffic congestion on this road. Millions were spent on this project. I cannot tell you how many. A lot. More than several. None of mine, mind you, I just watched as someone who lived by it. After it was completed about, eh, 2 years ago, maybe, it was noted that the traffic was still unbearable because there's a high-school there and parents drop off their kids for class, or kids simply want to get out of the lot or do whatever and the round-a-bouts do nothing. Nothing. Now, the village has had multiple 'emergency' votes amongst its boomer constituents and decided what they will do is: "Tear out the round-a-bouts, and make it a four lane road and increase the size of the round-a-bouts". Certainly helping the traffic to the nearby businesses for years to come, no doubt.

Don’t know what can be done about that, it’s too popular. I have an /r/relationships tab "permanently" open on Chrome on my phone, and I browse during my commute. It moves so quickly and it's such a huge thread that I'm basically guaranteed to have something to read forever. I'm on page 1647 out of 2334. Sisyphean in a good way!

My neighborhood is pretty nice but super expensive and the cops are absolute loving fascists. This of course leads to lovely people moving here hoping that they can throw their money around to keep the people they don't like (people of color, poors) far away. Usual suburbia poo poo.

The area I live in has no pubs due to it being traditionally wealthy and 100 years ago the powerful rich people got into the temperance movement and used their influence to have the pubs shut. It's still inhabited by wealthy old conservative people so they continue to use their influence to stop the granting of liquor licences outside of restaurants, where the licence stops at like 9pm or something. Not being able to walk to a pub in Melbourne is hosed. I can walk to 4 nursing homes in 5 minutes though

Hammerite posted:The place where I live is quite nice so i dont have anything to bitch about really Same. My shack is on a little island in a pigshit lagoon, and I don't have a boat so I can only get out to the shop when it freezes, which it does every day at midnight and again at 2pm. This is also useful because it kills the swarms of mosquitoes and magpies that otherwise constantly attack me. The shop is 4 hours away on the motorway by bicycle, and stealing their wifi is the only way I can post - satellite signal doesn't get through because there's too much mercury vapour in the clouds. Being between the abattoir and the artillery range is a little noisy, but it's only rarely that the hogs escape onto the range and I get guts raining on the roof. The hydro company said they'd pay for my funeral when the dam fails in the next earthquake, but I don't know how they'll bury me as the whole county was deconsecrated. Beats the poo poo out of the last place - it was near a roundabout.
