Not Just Bikes / r/fuckcars / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

[Markass the Worst]

Where's Road Guy Rob when we need him? I'm sure he could make a solid 20 minutes of kino on traffic camera safety.

Good videos take a long time to make. Unlike most of the urbanists, he actually gets input from experts, and his videos don't just consist of him proselytizing at the camera for 20 minutes.

How about a 3 minute discussion from a loud yorkshire man, and a midget.

HOWEVER you know this bitchnigger would scream out the other side of his ass if someone tried to enforce anti-nigger laws

Or if they started holding cyclists accountable for the traffic laws they constantly and flagrantly disobey.

This is how I imagine this retard's supposedly constant near-death interactions actually go:

That's the most 'Jesus take the wheel' moment I have ever seen. In this case, Jesus take the handlebars.

I mean they did a full refund, AND gave them a credit for future travel, AND gave them a discount code for a rental car.

That's above and beyond what I've ever received from a governmental (amtrak) cancellation, though to be fair to amtrak they always got me to my destination, eventually, even if it were a bus (conductors can also call a taxi for passengers in some circumstances where a bus makes no sense).

"Traffic cam traps" were initially placed in spots where speeding was especially dangerous due to reduced visibility etc. and they worked great to reduce the amount of accidents.

But because this meant that eventually drivers got few if any fines from those cameras, and people who received the money from fines were also the ones with the authority to place cam traps... Excessive amount of camera traps was installed, sometimes specifically to places where people often go above the legal limit to safely merge/weave. Allegedly those parts actually become less safe as driver attention is drawn from safely executing a maneuver to not triggering the trap.

That's a big thing, if I'm worrying about the camera, I'm not paying attention to the road. Put cameras everywhere and people will feel like they're in a fishtank (heh).

It feels like the time I was stuck using a train for a couple months, UTA, and a car hopped the tracks. They arranged busses at the nearest stop, didn't have to pay for it, and got us going. This is just that but bigger; proving once again shit at the state level is better.

Waiting for the videos to tell me that it would be better if Brightlines was expropriated.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I can't wait to hear the cope about how Florida HSR is being sabotaged by Nazi Carbrained RepubliKKKans and how this would never happen anywhere else, plus some conspicuous failures to mention the California version of the same white elephant retardation that is even more behind schedule and far worse financially fucked by overspending.

 

[pellegrino31415]

Waiting for the videos to tell me that it would be better if Brightlines was expropriated.

The hilarity of that is it is probably the government that is the cause of the delay and not dealing with the certifications in a timely manner.

Also large projects like this are usually a bit late, humans are garbage time estimators.

The fact that they are within a month of the estimated date is a fucking miracle, and should be celebrated. But the commieblok bootlickers are gonna be commieblok bootlickers.

There were two threads today in /r/fuckcars asking what cars people own.

Unsurprisingly, their revealed preferences show that many of them prefer to drive:

1004 people own at least one car and 1134 people don't own a car.

At least 230 are kids less than 16 years old (The "I don't own a car" category likely includes some kids and I doubt anyone there has a disability that stops them from driving as those are rare and also make it difficult to walk or bike).

47% of them are car owners; excluding the kids, 53% are car owners.

A lot of people blaming "systemic issues" for why they don't move to a walkable area and sell their car:

Some self-hating car owners justifying why they own a car:

Using a autistic child as a excuse. ROFL. Just say you own a gas guzzling Chevy Tahoe already you complete faggots because you like the space, have a trailer, a couple kids, and the crash safety ratings are good

The fags talking about owning EV's either own one of these or a Ford Explorer and you can't tell me otherwise.

I wonder if her boyfriend owns a car as well:

Don't worry, he owns the Switch.

Ford Explorers are based making the retards on the road think you are a cop.

I don't blame them for being hypocrites on owning cars. I just want them to admit the reasons they can't have their heckin walkable cities is because of Niggers.

That’s something that I hate about them. Every city, even the most sprawling ones have walkable by definition areas and the vast majority of them aren’t expensive hipster areas. They could live in an apartment building next to a strip mall with a Walmart and be able to walk to 99% of their daily needs within a few minutes, but that isn’t quaint enough for them and they’d see cars along their walks.

Take a look at this random square kilometer area in Houston (their most hated city):

Google Maps
It takes only 20 minutes to walk across and if one lived in the central apartments, only 10 minutes to walk anywhere in the picture.

I've highlighted retail in blue, and multifamily housing in red. The rent in the area is around $900-$1100/mo for a one bedroom apartment.

Walmart alone has a grocery store, hardware store, beauty store, clothing store, sporting goods store, toy store, liquor store, electronics store, bakery, butcher, fast food restaurant, optician, bank, and more all under one roof. There’s a Home Depot within a short walk that has practically everything a non-professional would even need for a home improvement or gardening project, again all under one roof. There’s a Target close by for more expensive versions of everything that Walmart has, and it also has a Starbucks inside.

Outside of the mega stores, there is a pet store, several barber shops/hair salons, a small theater, several banks, several tobacco/vape stores, a video game store (though Gamestop mostly sells Funko pops now), a print shop, a weight gym, a musical instrument store, a phone repair shop, a liquor store, several beauty salons, several jewelry stores, a pawn shop, several bars with live music, a tea house, several clothing stores, and several furniture stores. The restaurants within walking distance have cuisines including Philadelphia cheesesteaks, Brazilian steak, Korean chicken wings, Moroccan, Mediterranean, American Chinese, Caribbean, Indian, Pizza, Burgers, Japanese Ramen, American breakfast food, American chicken wings, sushi, chicken sandwiches, several coffee shops, Turkish, Mexican, a food truck neighborhood, and many more.

There are many more businesses I didn't list, and if they are willing to bike on the sidewalks, there are too many businesses to list within a 15 minute bike ride.

Remember this is all in a very suburban area 10 miles from the city core with "stroads" and parking lots everywhere.

/r/fuckcars users could live in such a neighborhood if they actually cared about living in an affordable place where they don’t need to drive to daily errands, but they’d rather just bitch online about how Manhattan is the only good neighborhood in all of the US and how unfair it is that they can’t afford the ~$5k/mo median rent there.

Ah, Westheimer Road.

The thing is that the area HAS gone downhill in recent years but again...you're not going to find a crime-free paradise in ANY "real" city except for the ultra-rich, private-security neighborhoods that you will NOT be able to afford no matter what.

The space next to Chick-fil-A is vacant, it was an Arby's and later a Krispy Kreme, but it's likely that it will still become something else.

I picked that spot at random by searching for “Walmart” on Google Maps, as I know that Walmart Supercenters contain practically every daily necessity in one store.

/r/fuckcars users shouldn’t care that it’s not a rich area. They’re all communists who love the poor and who love diversity, so it should be perfect for them.

Good luck lol. They'll admit to having a F-350 before admitting diversity is a problem and not guns

And yet they hate those stores because they aren't owned by heckin disabled black trans people (and they employ poor people, but they won't say that).

This is most cities near suburbs. I'm not restricted to eating like a peasant and only ordering games online. There are shops for everything, they're just spread apart somewhat

There are many more businesses I didn't list, and if they are willing to bike on the sidewalks, there are too many businesses to list within a 15 minute bike ride.

Bitching they can't pay 5k rent is genuinely maddening. That's a big salary. You can get a mortgage with that. Instead they wanna live in the pod with only a console to keep them company, probably because they don't want to cut the grass or something.
