With how much urbanists go on about pedestrian fatalities and how trains would be the solution to them I hope they never actually look into Brightline.

They already dismiss train fatalities by saying that, by statistics, cars are deadlier.

It'll either be:

A) "Japan is great... but it's not the Netherlands"

or, my likely guess:

B) "Japan is car-centric... but that's ok because the cars are all tiny there! Look at these tiny trucks YOU can't have in America!" For whatever reason the fuckcars crowd eats up this specific model of truck like candy and it's even spread to normies in general.

Gersh Kuntzman, the faggot who whined about how supposedly terrifying it was to fire an AR-15, is also an insufferable cyclist who literally does traffic jannying for free to own it to those carbrains who evade traffic fines. Just goes to show the considerable overlap between anti-gun fags and anti-car fags.

He was featured on yesterday's MATI (clip from 29:53 in Rumble VOD):

I was out and about and wanted to try a new restaurant, but it was in an urban area right next to the university. Not finding any free parking, I ended up parking about eleven blocks away and walked. It got me thinking—I don't think these people actually have been pedestrians in these sorts of environments.

1. The nearby apartments and rentals are sold on being in "walkable" areas, yet it was still about 15 minutes to the restaurant. I've been in less "walkable" areas and it still took just as long as to find shops and restaurants. Could it be that the term "walkable" is nothing other than marketing?
2. The place where I parked was right next to an abandoned convenience store. In better days the building housed a laundromat and a Thai restaurant, but if commercial establishments can't survive for whatever reason, what does that mean for the neighborhood around it?
3. Urbanists love to find an urban area and scribble in all the parking areas (including loading docks) as some sort of "THERE'S ALREADY ENOUGH PARKING!" flex, but a lot of parking areas, including little parking outlets just off the street to boarded-up or demolished apartments were tow-away zones, that's not actually usable space. They're always talking about how "inefficient" parking is, yet the solution is to just convert those into buildings, not start changing things to help free up those spaces for general use.

Again, the most walkable places I've ever been have either been when I'm staying at a hotel in a business district, or when I'm in a house in a nice small town or suburb. It's all so ... touristy.

"Wannabe traffic cop" really should be studied as a mental condition. Flashback to when NJB bought a speed gun (can't find any footage but I distinctly remember him talking about it) and noise level reader so he could go out and further justify his worldviews to himself.

I'm not sure. Remember, these people tend to run with the ACAB crowd, and they don't care about justice or doing the right thing. A lot of that is sadism.

In the 1990s, there was a particular code enforcement worker in Park City who was very good at his job, including using a tape measurement for grass length and filming around properties to find reasons to issue citations. Turned out he wasn't just a "bureaucratic bully", he was a serial killer who got off on torturing the women he killed. (Edit: should mention it was "BTK", Dennis Rader)

I'd look to see if brightline is profitable if you ignore the jews taking all the interest. The drop in short-distance passengers is expected as most of those are now long distance, if you're riding the train you'll ride it as close as you can get to your final destination. (I can't find the current numbers but it looks like $149 million a year in interest expenses on the $4 billion in bonds.)

If I read https://emma.msrb.org/P21789452-P21373718-P21812728.pdf right, they had an operating loss of $156 million last year which does NOT include the interest. By my calculations they need to double ridership to become profitable there. ($70 million is deprecation and amortization which may be jewish accounting tricks, to be fair).

Depreciation ain’t a Jewish accounting trick, but yeah you should be factoring in that depreciation is a non cash expense since it just reflects the asset being put to use.

The suburbs are far from perfect, but if given the chance I'd rather live in boring ol' suburbia than a chaotic city.

I remember being a young progressive who wholeheartedly agreed with videos like this because they presented the cities as utopias where we'll all live happy and somehow convert high rise buildings into gardens like some urban Garden of Eden. However, if anyone who's ever stepped foot into a city would realize they're industrial dumps. I can't see how we can change city, such as New York City or Los Angeles, into utopias without enforcing totalitarianism to clamp down on crime and punish businesses for producing waste.

Suburbs are extremely based if there's no tyrannical HOA and the plot sizes aren't tiny. Nice large yards and being able to do what you want on them like growing crops and flowers and whatever while not living in the middle of nowhere is nice.
Fences are a must too. I couldn't imagine living in a fenceless community

Fenceless communities are amazing if you get along well with your neighbors. It's like having a single gigantic yard.

They also look better, in my opinion.

I swear fifty different NJB clones popped up overnight and have gotten an algorithm boost recently (possibly from people just thinking it's actually Jason). If I was addicted to getting YouTube views I'd just do this, some of these channels have already gotten sponsorships.

Some areas in my parents' neighborhoods have fences, some don't. A lot of it depended on who had dogs or kids when the property lines and houses were established.

Again, though, fences depend on societal trust. Urbanists are well aware of societal trust but they think that can be "fixed" if you just dump a bunch of people together with no common shared history, language, or creed and should "deal with it". This is especially frustrating as they idolize their college life in which they actually were surrounded by people similar to them and much happier for it. (I've mentioned this before).

I heard the claim that it is expensive to own a car in Japan because the maintenance of road is done by the those who pay car taxes.
How true is that?

 

[gagabobo1997]

I just like the privacy fences provide. I guess it would be dope to have nice neighbors and have one giant shared yard though.

As far as privacy goes, some strategically-placed large trees are the usually the solution to that if you trust your neighbors enough not to go screwing around in your lawn.

Quick show of hands, have you noticed the "damned if you, damned if you don't" attitude of urbanists?

Buc-ee's is a gas station/convenience store chain famous for its huge stores and 100+ gas pumps.

Britbong here. I thought it was also famous for it's clean toilets?

Also they don't hire people with visible tattoos or danger hair, which supposedly makes it unworkable, but they keep getting more and more popular.

Don't know. My understanding was the price of a car in Japan comes from the amount of toll roads, and that street parking is banned and you often have to pay for parking.
