I have the best idea for a transportation system: I get to have a car and nobody else does. It only seats four so if you want to get somewhere quickly you better try to stay on my good side.

hot cocoa on the couch posted:cars rule actually. being forced to drive them is the bad part This exactly. And why aren't there stores and services everywhere where people live? Because people live distributed all over a country, and you need a certain amount of people living around a shop to make it possible to run the shop. There will always be people who mentally can't deal with living in a busy city, and people who simply can't afford it. Once an hour buses that run through 15 little towns aren't a good car replacement. First focus on people who commute sit in a traffic jam each day. If a highway has regular traffic jams, it's probably carrying enough people to make a rail line very useful and a better alternative to sitting in a traffic jam. I think most problems would already be solved by taking half of all commuters off the road. I live in a city and don't have a car. Owned one for 6 months, then decided that it wasn't worth it. Bicycles are better within my city, and my motorcycles are more fun and better for reaching other inner cities. I still want a Trabant, though. But with two motorcycles that i'm doing my own maintenance on, i don't really have the time or energy to also do a socialist shitbox made out of cotton waste and coal derived chemicals.

row housing can help save a ton in utilities tho, especially heating and AC. they're also cheaper to build and more efficient with space.

But I’m crazy and I WILL get arrested if I share a wall with someone! They’ll hear a domestic dispute, call the police, and then the cops are gonna realize I was just arguing with myself, beat me and arrest me for being myself at night. That ain’t tolerable! Oh, also I hate them aesthetically. Both duplexes and cops.

i live in a semi detached house and I have literally never heard anything from next door through the wall. don't know if the wall is abnormally thick or if it's just because it's a retired couple and they make hardly any noise.

i worry more about being too noisy for my neighbours than hearing them but it's probably part of my anxiety thingy. i'll be riding the volume controls late at night even though i've never once heard their tv through the floor lol.

mobby_6kl posted:Yeah my parents live in a middle row house and I've never hear anything through the walls either. Much more likely to hear it through the open windows if they're in the yard. You’re all loving lying, either that or my parents have been lying to me for decades and telling me the neighbors are going to have me arrested for yelling in my own home, because they can all hear me. Oh poo poo it’s obviously the second one now that I write it out, they just didn’t want to get yelled at and took advantage of my fear of incarceration. I know two people who are getting yelled at in the near future!

replace all roads with a canal type system and all use boats. But that'll take a lot of water so use Pepsi instead
