Sooo... it's just libertarianism?

One other measure that could easily be taken is to ban advertising for these.

Ram drivers have more than twice the national average of DUIs in the US

I find the language you use interesting. Those who take their living room with them to save a few minutes "benefit", whereas those who have to breathe in the fumes and be victims of traffic violence are "inconvenienced".

Cars are one of the things that actually empowers individuals to live their individualized lives.

Only those who are able to afford to, and can safely drive a car. Cars, and especially car dependant places, suck for anyone that can't.

I have an a770. The only issue that I've had with what little gaming I do, is that CS2 ran pretty terribly, although I tried again last night and it seemed much better.

The point is that the money spent on electric car subsidies went mostly to more wealthy people and took money away from investing in things like better public transport.

It's not the cars being electric that's the problem, but their approach to electric cars and seeing them as a solution is.

I spent a few years getting a school bus that only came once a day, I just got to the bus stop on time and it was fine. In most places your urban transport runs at headways of less than 15 minutes, and even down to 90 seconds, missing that isn't a huge issue.

Just check the schedule and leave at the right time?

Watch the video. They didn't literally sell their streets, they sold the parking meters, but certain clauses in the contract means the city has to pay up anytime they want to do anything that might affect revenue to those meters so it suddenly becomes much more expensive to do anything different with that space.

Lmao at the number of downvotes on this one

Flame wars are a significant contributor to global warming

Why are they called women and not wowomen?

Rails are easy to deal with if your road is designed reasonably well for cyclists.

Build short spurs into delivery areas, deliver outside of busy hours, it's not difficult.

My local supermarket already doesn't use full size trucks, and many of the larger ones in my city are adjacent to tram tracks which I think could be used for deliveries. But if the supermarket has to spend a bit more to make my city's streets safer then yes using smaller vans is good.

Large trucks like this shouldn't be in cities unless they're the only thing that can solve the problem. More freight rail and bikes or smaller vans for last mile are much better.

Taxis are cool, they're a good way to fill in a few gaps for those that don't own cars or are visiting a place.

Uber and other ride share apps seem to just increase the number of cars on the road while also exploiting their drivers.
