Sidewalks have been standard on urban road construction for years, and the fact that they have to be ADA-compliant means they're naturally wider and have curb cuts anyway.I meant during greenfield build - a 40 foot wide road vs a 50 footer isn’t terribly more expensive as it’s just basically materials and a few more passes of the machinery. Whereas a sidewalk is entirely different machines (unless it’s a concrete road but those are usually freeways).
Pretty sad that we have to have dashcams like Russians, Chinese, and other third-worlders because society is failing and everyone is finding new ways to screw you if you don't have video evidence.Update on this angry cyclist story, the driver had his ticket dropped when he sent in the dashcam footage, and Gary Peacock paid his ticket and "apologized". Rare cop W in the footage ngl, the cyclist is so unironically retarded, the cop has to explain the ticket for like 4 minutes.
I don't think it's quite that simple, if anything Jason has gotten more unhinged and we have yet to see his big November video. There are two big changes:Checking in about a year after I stopped the "Deboonking the Traffic Soyboys" articles. After skimming the last few pages, my read on the situation is that the Traffic Antifas are just as ridiculous as ever, but more marginalized, and their cultural heydey is in the rearview mirror. I also haven't seen any of their stuff on YouTube, but that's not much to go on.
- Marohn and Strong Towns are losing influence; the result being that it is a "conservative" or non-partisan stance is dropped
- Ironically, there is a backlash growing against bike lanes in large cities. These people aren't conservative but the conversions are happening too fast that normies have grown suspicious, and in the past few months the media has been too busy running interference for Kamala Harris to throw cold water on it.
