When I visited san fransisco I (and everyone else) just hopped over the turnstiles and road the transit for free. Is that not possible in florida?

Brightline is real rail for big money. You might be able to sneak on but they’re much more likely to enforce it. Nobody gives a shit about $5 BART jumpers.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I like the idea that they think Florida should just subsidize Brightline (further?), which destroys all arguments about how great it is how it's privately owned and can be a success and all that.

Like any parasite, I'm sure they'd never be happy with any taxpayer monies, demanding more, and flipping out if money is cut.

You missed the comments where one of them says that he would prefer to smell horse manure than car exhaust:

I mean car exhaust is whatever - take it or leave it - but damn if you don't enjoy a nice sweet huff of good old TURBO DIESEL exhaust, have you even really lived?

Jet exhaust is nice too.

Bikes crashing would be even more hilarious if they ate horse shit when crashing.

There would be piles of it everywhere.

Fuck cars would become fuck horses.

Looks like the W123 chasis. One of the legit GOATS in the car world

Or it would be like Back to the Future, but in reverse.

You can not compete with the racism of your average Amish person. There was this guy who worked in a trailer factory who bought cheap gummy candy for the White people because "Englishmen can't talk when they chew so they'll actually work."

A reminder that these people would be atrocious urban planners

Our cars make a lot of pollution
Makes the air hard to breathe, I'll admit
But just think if we all still rode horses
All our streets would be knee-deep in

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

Road Guy Rob is doing a livestream on how "stroads" happen.

Edit: Very comfy viewing actually and goes into local politics and how its even more important than what planners and engineers do.

I love the subtle jabs he throws at Strong towns randomly during the stream, the bit about being an actual traffic engineer, that if it's a binary that State St won't ever be a road since it was always a highway, and that yeah you can't just dictate to locals who vote what they have to accept because they can vote the dickheads out xD.

Also made some good points about the shitty apartment buildings full of renters being a net downside in trying to actually fix real problems in a area.

Militant socialist urbanists protest Elon Musk's plan to make more people and planet killing electric SUVs- say it's not a solution to gas cars.

Maybe if they hadn't abandoned clean nuclear power in favor of more coal they wouldn't have a problem with electric cars.

"No buses or trains will run to and from the factory between Thursday and Sunday because of the anticipated protests."

Well gee, it sure sounds like mass transit is inherently inferior when it can be shut down at the drop of a hat like that. Not because of any physical impairment like a bridge going down or a crash in the middle of a road, but purely because of socio-political pressure.

I've said that before. Most of these "stroads" evolved from being outgrowths of a city on a highway, which is still seen in a lot of smaller towns that don't have a freeway bypass around them, and it makes sense to anyone who's not retarded or an idealogue.

The whole "stroad" thing is fucking infuriating, because they actually identified a problem (real city and civil engineers hate multi-entrance busy streets), and they got a cutesy name for it (a cutesy name is more than half the battle!) and then they even described the problem in ways people could understand .... and went completely off the fucking rails instead of showing solutions that could and can and have been implemented.

Worse, they actually blame the civil engineers and planners for the "stroads" as if it was by deliberate design, when in reality a lot of them was either just natural outgrowth or at worse, hacked together (the Blalock Road example, though even that is mitigated with medians and a low speed limit).
