Their arguments boil down to "it's okay when we do it" and they don't even try to hide it. What utter scum.

Road Guy Rob is pretty good but he just spergs about road design and doesn’t directly engage.
Informative, too.

But boy do those people engage with him. I've seen fuckcars users sperg about him, plus bug men routinely show up in his comments

NJB got sucked into the echo chamber, when this thread was at page 1 or 2, NJB wasn't as bad as it is now. He may have always been a fag bred in California (and born in Canada, the worst combination) but he wasn't full on turbo-sperg like "any pedestrian infrastructure that provides a tangential benefit to cars is bad" or "actually American-style development is OBJECTIVELY bad, there is no debate" like he is now.
My point is that constant switching like that usually isn't done near the main road system or rail system, and was perhaps something like this in mind, but the rail was just a spur of a few miles, the cars idled for about a year before being removed, and within a few years the tracks were removed entirely.
There are a few crossings near spurs that I've driven past that are blocked by trains longer and more constantly than typical tracks, but these crossings are neither vital or back up onto the rush hour major roads. State laws have been passed in multiple states to limit blocked crossings to 10 minutes, with 20 minutes as a general rule of thumb, yet the federal government has never ruled on this or made any legislative decisions.
Railroad crossings with 3+ rails crossing them are pretty rare as well (there's one in Memphis in the hood with about 6 active ones).
Sorry for sperging on this on a bit, this whole transportation thing is a bit of a hobby of mine and it's sad it's gotten hijacked by commies and retards.

Why do these Reddit types all have the same smug, cuntish attitude to them? They can't even accept a different viewpoint without being a massive faggot about it. These soyboys are bigger assholes and less self-aware than the neckbeards they love to mock!
Also, weren't those same dipshits slashing people's car tires and letting air out of the tires and bragging about how righteous they were for doing so? Now all of a sudden it's the worst crime ever when someone does it to their bikes. They say it's for the environment yet these faggots use shit every single day that harms the environment, including the computers they use when they're online all day bitching.
Also, how many of these tough guys would go to a black hood, Hispanic barrio, or even white trash trailer park and let air out of someone's tire?

He's basically an anti-cow. The only time he really engaged with the urbanist folk was when big man Jason Slaughter decided to show up in his comments section:

Later he directly addressed him in his thanking patreons video:

It's almost like those places see a place for Police, Medical officials, and Firefighters to have vehicles to get to places as fast as possible.

I'd like to see how cyclists fare against my 2008 Dodge Charger. I'd love to do 120 on the bike lane just to see them desperately pedaling for their lives right up to when I leave them in the mud.

Jason is such a disingenuous asshole. He claims that the US is building "almost nothing but car dependent places" which is simply untrue. All of the new developments in the car-dependent suburb I live in are little blocks of shops surrounded by new apartment and housing developments, and are pedestrian forward. The catch to all of these places is that they're not very affordable to live near, so people will still drive to these, park in a large lot or garage, then walk around to enjoy the shops. This seems to be common across other US areas where new commercial developments are being built. Many of these are developed with walkability and access in mind and try mimic tiny little downtown areas.

I've never heard that London story, but I have heard the story of Yeltsin being amazed by a suburban grocery store in Houston:
The moral of the story is that Houston has plenty of food because it is unwalkable while Moscow has empty grocery stores because it is walkable and therefore trucks couldn't get to the stores to deliver food:
Makes just as much sense as believing that nobody walks in America because they're afraid of being murdered by drivers.

I can't figure out which is funnier--the fact that they claim to hate cars so much but never actually do anything like block highways, or comparing it to Kony videos which is known today as basically a massive money laundering scam.

German "mobility expert/activist" Katja Diehl, mostly known for having blocked 90% of Twitter and being well-connected with being paid as an advisor for politicians despite having zero actual education in the field, has recently shared some odd stories on her Instagram, one about how she has actually no idea how to monetize her activism (which is odd because she has listed her "mobility expert" consultancy as herself being self-employed in her vita since 2017), and also some sob-story about how she doesn't have the strength to figh shitstorms any more when she just wants to improve the world (that one came after she got serious backlash after publically talking about how "she/they want to destroy the Germans' dream of owning a house and car". She thinks people want to own single family homes and cars to distance themselves from other people. Which is true, they don't want to share their lifes with joggers and cunts like her). She's a 50 year old woman apparently living in a shared house or something, tries to present herself as if she's still 20, has actually studied marketing and worked in marketing a long time, but still can't monetize her activism despite being extremely pushed and hyped by media, because she's just that much of a cunt.
She just deleted her Twitter account, which was not really a loss since, well, she blocked 90% of other users. Claims it's because of death threats and the commiebubble not showing enough solidarity. Toppest of keks.
I guess her financial woes came from the start-up she worked for as a marketing lead going bankrupt last year and all her media hype and her book actually not being all that popular. Bonus points for that start-up being a company selling a ride-sharing app for cars.
Seeing that quite a bit these days, mostly young(-ish) women being disillusioned by the world not agreeing with them, and people not readily accepting their holy message. To them, the fact that people must live in the bughive and own nothing is a truth that they hold self-evident. They can't wrap their minds around people not wanting that kind of life.

Why do I feel like most of these people are too slow in the mind to actually procure a license? That or they can't afford a car.
