[Xarpho's Return]

Of course, not notcing the average theme park and cruise is purpose built for a relatively small area and you dont have to have either transport, long term housing. complex infrastructure or schedules

Those things are logistics nightmares. This is one why the Disneyland tunnels exist, it's not just for employees, they're truck tunnels to supply all the shops and restaurants, and take care of the vast amount of garbage that gets generated. There's going to be a natural limit before it's completely impractical and I can't say for sure if part of the reason theme park food and merchandise costs so much is partly because of these issues.

So they push laws like minimum parking removals, lowering lanes via changing them to bike/bus only, pedestrian streets, etc etc to force every car owner to be inconvenienced. Getting their alternative transit utopia by artifically capping the usefulness of cars. There is no agreement or compromise with these types, the only way to stop them is to make sure they never get power. Luckily in the US at least, that can be accomplished by not voting Democrat. Unluckily, every major city is run by that party, and you can guess what that leads to...

Again, the whitepill is that some of these people are fighting back and the pro-cyclist contingent tend to embarrass themselves at these townhall meetings. If bike lanes and other transit components get cut out of omnibus spending bills and stand alone as separate poll items they'll probably end up sinking.

Internally for the optimal peformance for the park, its not quite simple yes, but theme parks usually are less complex than some cities for the average park goer, which what i was making the comparison to.

That kind of is the point, yes. In theme parks, universities, and cruise ships, they work as part of a larger system, they're not the system itself. Neither of those things stand alone. Sometimes they're built apart from everything else but that changes quickly. For universities, most of them have some sort of "village" nearby that serves as the commercial district, featuring a gamut of fast food, diners (formerly 24 hours), bars, and in some nicer areas a more comprehensive selection of shops beyond convenience stores and bicycles. Beyond that you have student-oriented apartments and that fades into the rest of the city after a while.

Theme parks the same way; clustered around are hotels, restaurants, fast food, and tourist-oriented shopping (tourist supermarkets are very different from their townie counterparts)...and the further you go out that fades away.

A German politician just demanded that parallel parking and any reverse exiting out of parking spots should be illegal because that's where accidents happen and that wouldn't work with Vision Zero.
Anyone with even a quarter brain knows that such a ban would be impossible, but then again, German female Greens aren't exactly known for their intellect.

Rear Angle Parking is back baby! xD

No, that would still be illegal under the proposal, you have to reverse into those spots. The only parking that would remain legal would be those circular driveways you see in front of old timey mansions.

Fucking knew it. What was the justification over there? When I first heard of the dam removal plans on the Klamath and general media buzz about getting rid of dams I immediately thought of manufactured disasters like all the wildfires caused by forestry and infrastructure neglect. It's one thing to get rid of old weirs and industrial dams that are deteriorated and/or no longer serving a purpose. But bigger dams for power and/or FLOOD CONTROL? With the klamath it was fish migration and reparation to muh injuns. Even though iirc at least one removed dam had a fish ladder. And of course there were immediate negative effects from releasing old polluted silt oops haha. But I just know the moment a flood happens that the dams would've prevented it'll be GLOBAL BOILING

As always Stossel does a really good job talking about this.

Sigh, I hate cyclists. Had to pass one today on a 2 lane road right before a light. The light was red and of course he ran the light. Forcing all the cars that just passed him to pass him again. It was a downhill intersection so it's not like he had an excuse of saving power or whatever. There is also a wide walking and biking trail that parallels this specific road.

 

[Midwit]

"Break my stride?" This is actually making me MATI. Like how cushy do you have to be to for you to be worried about that. I WALK. A LOT. I have never worried about that shit.

Being able to walk without needing to stop does make it significantly more convenient,

interstate rail is next to non-existent

Aren't some of them on different gauges as well?

There is also a wide walking and biking trail that parallels this specific road.

One of the advantages of having a LHD car is that if a cyclist pulls that shit then you can open the window and push them off the road, as God intended.

I hate overly tight new build suburbia as much as the next guy, but it's absolutely preferable to living in an apartment unless you've got a garage or some storage space to keep things moderately secure.

French urbanist moved to the Netherlands because Jason raved about it. Turns out Jason lied and it sucks:






Dutch Green Party member blames the housing crisis on greedy farmers hoarding all the land:

I thought they hated sprawl? Why doesn't he advocate for replacing Amsterdam's midrises with Chinese-style highrise apartments instead of sprawling?

There's a concerted propaganda effort against farmers and farming going on right now. It's ludicrous.

You're not sharing a wall, you've certainly got more space, you don't have to abide by a list of restrictions...it's 100% better than an apartment and preferred as the better choice by every race except retards.

At this point the suburbs are just a stand in for the people who live in them. Just like how they don't hate pickup trucks as much as it's an excuse to hate the people who drive them without directly saying it.

The hilarious thing is that Reddit raves and groans about hating HOAs. Well when you're in an apartment guess what you're living in by default.

I'll admit that HOA's can be heavy-handed sometimes, but half the time I hear people bitch about them it comes down to the complainer being told not to turn their property into a crackhouse. It's certainly better than an apartment landlord ready to screw you out of your deposit because something was a little scuffed.

I mean Ford was woke to the JQ and so they punished his noticing (and desire to actually make things better for his workforce) with a court ruling that corporations are breaking the heckin law if they dont put shareholder stonks above all else, courtesy of the shabbos Dodge bros

Just remember the ultimate goal of their ideological stance is everyone in a prison cell. It's the perfect walkable society.
