Lol we don't. It's all half-assed things with giant parkings (gasp!) around the cities and only apply here. When you leave the ultra urban places cars are everywhere.
Edit: For taxing the old cars I don't know for other countries but in France they tried for years to make it work and we're still waiting, a handfull of cities may have it.
And Mayor Hidalgo was already unpopular but her take on banning cars in Paris made people even more angry at her.

You know the urinepean elites are still gonna be allowed drive their giant V12 supercars and multimillion dollar 1930s luxury cars after they eventually ban cars for the plebs.

Always Europe active so smug and leeching off American defense spending while their civil liberties are getting squashed. They act smug about going car-free yet they are surprised when they are locked down in 15 minute cities.

The thing that he used to spring board into that rant was cherry picked as fuck. No shit the ultra expensive mansions on the hills are isolated with no sidewalks, public transportation, or commercial areas. It is like that on purpose to keep the poors, paparazzi, and trouble makers away for the safety and privacy of those living there. Not to mention the people living there could not only afford cars, but personal drivers too. So spending money on public transportation for them is a waste and defeats the purpose. If he started in Franklin's first house near Grove street he could find a strip mall and a bus stop within a city block, totally deflating his rant.
And Why does he have to act all urbanist and shit over a game? At this point I could consider The Zone or Tarkov to be infinitely more walkable than Los Santos. Night City and Los Santos in the Online version also got the oh so scary FLYING CARS.

Give me a break.

Not according to them. But ironically I find walking around the zone in Stalker Anomaly to be much more engaging than walking around NC or LS. A lot more to see and explore than just endless building facades.

Because it is an excuse to hate on American urban planning, the guy even highlighted that fact by saying that NC is based on asian mega cities like it is a good thing compared to US city planning. If they are going to sperg at video game urban design then I want them to try to break down in an urbanist perspective Kamurocho from the Yakuza games. At it's core, it is a urbanist wet dream of being a truely 15 minute city: Multipurpose heighrises that have necessities, restaurants, bars, and entertainment all in walking distance connected by streets that are very narrow to discourage car traffic. Also cycling seems to be the main way around given how many bikes are around to beat up goons with and there is a subway station at the entrance of the district to connect to the wider city of Tokyo. But the real reason why I want them to talk about it is because that city is in your face with its seedyness, corruption, crime, homelessness, inequality, and in general social decay that urbanists would hopefully be forced to address at least some of these problems in urban planning head on instead of dancing around them when they talk about IRL urban planning.

It would be funny if someone tried to tackle Yakuza 0 (lets face it, the easy one since it attracted alot of the tourists) since one of the main plotpoints is criminals trying to scheme and outmuscle everyone out of a tiny vacant lot because of the cartoonishly expensive real estate prices in late 80s Japan

Its not even grand acres of land, or an entire town or some shit, its just a vacant lot because Tokyo was/is an urban mess
 
Retards, all of them. The crossing is not blind with high bushes or any other obstructions. It's wide open for over a mile. That's plenty of space for the pedestrian to hear and see the oncoming car, for the driver to see the pedestrian in the crossing, and at 25-35MPH, plenty of reaction time for either to stop in order to avoid a collision or hurry up and get out of the other's way.

Has that retard brought this up with the local planning council? Has he suggested to them to put in crossing markers, signs, or lights to help drivers and pedestrians be more aware of each other at the crossing? I somehow doubt it. Can't get Reddit gold by bringing up issues to the entity that might be able to do something about it, after all.

I'm pretty sure it's been brought up here (as a matter of fact, just about three months) that comparing real life to video games is one of the most braindead takes you can make.

Australian /r/fuckcars user can't cross a one-lane, 30 mph street:
This level of big mad can't be because of a missing pedestrian sign, is it? Or is it just a case of "never enough"?

I notice their stances have started to shift similar to the left's view on guns post-2020 where a lot of them think they should be able to own guns on the basis of self defense but their political rivals shouldn't.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these channels start delving more into what "justified truck use" constitutes in the future as their facade is starting to drop and the mask is slipping.

They are just a retard, 50km/h is the default limit for streets in 'built up areas'(i.e everywhere besides country roads between towns)

That's even a single lane one way they are crossing, so safer than crossing a normal suburban rd which is usually 2.5 - 4 lanes wide.

Further proof if needed they are housebound neets most of the time xD

It's amazing how far they'll go to make common sense and courtesy while operating a vehicle? Any vehicle? A human rights violation. The seem to think that any part of the world's infrastructure that you couldn't safely navigate for hours on end with your eyes closed is a failure....

Another thing I thought about with the "NAFO truck". Have they considered the reason why the truck is relatively cheap that they're able to buy one for around maybe $15 - 20k is because guys who "don't really need one" are able to freely buy them on the civilian market, lowering the overhead for Toyota to be able to sell them like this.

If they were crowd funding to buy an actual purpose built light military vehicle the cost could easily more than double.

The thing about being a housebound neet is that you're better off with roads everywhere, because good roads/highways = good logistics. Your groceries are cheaper because they can take groceries directly from the distribution center to the loading dock of the grocery store with nothing leaving an enclosed area. (Grocery stores generally built in the 1980s or later can do this--older buildings can't). Your deliveries get to your door quicker because they can park on the street in front of your house (or your driveway) and go directly to you--if they have to take three flights of stairs or an elevator (apartment elevators are the slowest, crappiest, and dirtiest elevators you'll come across that isn't clearly an antique), and if the street network isn't fucked over with bike lanes, "road diets", speed humps, and other anti-vehicular traps (including ULEZs and congestion pricing), that's timelier deliveries.

Absolutely, but all those points require a level of understanding and brainpower above that of a 5 year old.

One of my pet hates about urbanists is their complete lack of being able to comprehend requirements outside of being a shut in, the idea that a tradesperson needs a large vehicle and road access because they contract is beyond them.

It drives me nuts that they poison the well on some good ideas, or shout about problems that have already been solved outside of SF and how everyone else should fix them(see 'daylighting') so that we have to have the worst version of everything that has to be expensively replaced once the obvious happens and it's clear their shitty ideas don't work.
