You can also tell that he never has any time pressure because he thinks a 6 minute delay is nothing (it's not if you have a tight connection) and that there's nothing wrong with 10% of trips having even longer delays:

Exactly on the mark. And, as mentioned in the comment, that is the result of shitty policy making getting a drivers license a herculean task. I've had multiple jobs rejected not because I was unqualified, but because I lived too far away and would have to rely on public transport (Which everyone knows is unreliable and shit) to get to that place as I did not have a drivers license at the time. If you want to get a job as anything other than a mcdonalds worker, you need a drivers license or conveniently live a 10 minute bike ride away, chances of that being extraordinarily low.

It's this that makes me extremely frustrated when I see an American who never had to deal with this, as he was given a drivers license and a car by his parents at 16 years old, tells me that actually I should be happy that this is the case and I should gladly ride my cuckcycle through the rain and mud.

EDIT: Also, I think this guy banned me from commenting on his channel. No comments I make show up when I check the comments section through Tor. Makes me wonder if he also filtered the contents of this comment to prevent it being reposted again.

One thing's for sure--you pressed some buttons. When urbanists don't have a preloaded gotcha or "watch this video/read this book" quote loaded up, they flip out. You see this time and time again when they go to town hall events with real people that they can't immediately censor or shout down.

Star Wars is just FNAF for Gen X. The first one could stand on its own as its own thing, didn't really have all this other shit thought of when it was made, but it was so successful they had to make more. Then they intentionally added lore, but fans could see where it was going, so the creators tried to do something else, and then it got too big to manage, and now it's a giant clusterfuck that needs a bachelor's degree in consoomerism to untangle, plus there's infinite merchandise and comics and novels and extra-canon material that is/isn't canon until confirmed in the mainline story, so there are 50,000 micro background Glup Shitto characters everyone knows about somehow that don't actually mean shit but were made solely to plug in plotholes that arose from the rapid expansion of the series.

FNAF didn't really HAVE a plot other than "living animatronics, watch the cameras like you're playing a Digital Pictures game, JUMP SCARE"

Is it illegal for cyclists to use a sidewalk? I used it all the time when I rode bikes as a kid but is there some law against it. Every cyclist I ever see, whether it is videos or in person refuses to use a sidewalk even if it's completely deserted. It can't be due to curbs since every sidewalk has to be wheelchair accessible and have a slope. All their problems could be solves if they just rode on the sidewalk when it was an option.

I've seen some cope about how multi-use paths are bad because they have to share with pedestrians, but whatever. The most ridiculous thing is crying about sharrows aren't "real cycling infrastructure" but then will use roads whenever they please and become a nuisance.

He complains about bollards restricting car access to bike lanes:

A lot of faggotry in the video as a whole, but he'd definitely champion obstacles in roads to "force cars to slow down".

And while I believe this constitutes fair use, the automated YouTube copyright-detection bot disagrees, so that video will only be available on Nebula.

You can make your case on fair use and usually people will agree. So what's the problem, is it obviously not fair use and YouTube was right to flag him, or is he just too lazy to defend himself?

I wish he would be deported from my country.

Would be a shame if he ended up revealing himself through his own arrogance and stupidity...

I try to imagine what the ideal urbanism would look like for these mongoloids , like Kowloon walled city but there's a giant bike lane then right next to it another kowloon walled city, and so on, to infinity.

I have never seen urbanists disavow Kowloon Walled City (or any similar hyperdense infrastructure). It's been brought up time and time again, but never has a car-hating retard said actually, I draw the line at monstrosities like that, it's too much for me.

They are NOT beating the bughive allegations.

If they're comparing their ideal vision of a city block to a grocery store aisle, then they also would be okay with it being crowded full of people right outside their front doorstep, and the entire city being designed to try and make you the product and get you to consoom everything while berating you with ads both on the walls and from overhead speakers. I thought these people were anti-capitalist.

You know why there's a "hub","spoke","local" road model, it's so you can actually sleep at night without worrying about high car or foot traffic. Hell most good suburbs nowadays still have those but even have bike trails that connect each cul-de-sac end together so you don't lose out on being able to walk to your neighbors or to a local corner store quickly while still stopping drivers from using your neighborhood as a shortcut.

No kidding. Decided to try reposting the comment sanitized by GPT on an alt account and it was gone in SECONDS. I will make one more attempt to repost it, rewritten by GPT to not have even a single phrase from the original post. If he deletes that one then this guy might be the pettiest urbanist I have ever seen in my life.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Jason is complaining that a Canadian commuter rail service only operates trains during rush hour because people without jobs like himself want to ride regional trains in the middle of the day:

Almost all commuter rail runs one or two "wrong way" trains (mainly to position trainsets) and they're always fucking empty.

These urban niggers refuse to admit that there are things like traffic patterns and that you want to try to accommodate them.

(The best way to get working regional rail is to NOT have massive bughive cities where everyone works, but to spread everything out relatively evenly, which ... looks kind of suburban!)

Again it's been brought up multiple times but the only reason why something as insane as KWC even existed was people fleeing the horrors of communism. The city should be more of a testament to what people are willing to do to escape insane regimes rather than what these morons want but trendy somehow

This doesn't need full explanation as to why this is dumb and retarded, but there are two things to remark:
1) When driving you don't need to go up and down streets unless you're doing something like delivery and even then you have routes to follow.
2) Urbanists will advocate something fairly simple like a grid but then want to introduce arbitrary bullshit like medians, pedestrian blocks, transit areas, and so forth. As a result, even a "grid" street layout becomes a mess of poorly-pieced together streets.

Almost all commuter rail runs one or two "wrong way" trains (mainly to position trainsets) and they're always fucking empty.

They do admit there's traffic patterns, crying about a mass of cars moving up and down on the freeways and major roads is "proof" as to why they need trains, but then also demand that trains run all ways 24 hours even in times when they won't even be 20% full.

Of course, they'll demand that these nearly-empty trains run all the time to "serve" people then at the same time say it's more "efficient" other times rather all the time condemning the fact that your sedan (or whatever) isn't crammed full of people.

Was he raped by an internal combustion engine or something holy shit, it's not about good smart transportation anymore its just about total car death.
Have a little town in the middle of nowhere, need a high speed rail system for 5 miles.
Install a parking lot next to a mid distance commuting train so people can travel comfortably and smartly to the city? Fuck that we need some sort of complex tram system.

Honestly the bus question is what kills these faggots.
Smallish town: you can have a couple of buses to move people around, Basically no extra infra structure needed, its fast to step up and cheap.
Mid size city: great for starting public infrastructure or
Bigger denser cities? Installing a good dense redundant network helps alleviate any other rail system, they can reach less popular spots making commuting publicly more viable and if your rail system crushed due to a blackout you have an alternative wish can at least move a decent volume of people.

The bus is an ace of public transportation, it's cheap, versatile, and easy and fast to set up.

 

[Kyria the Great]

I don't know why it's been failed to grasp but the reasons passenger rail fails in the US for the most part is that it's an inferior option for most. People will generally choose the best option if they can afford it which is why I'm in favor of public transportation always being an option but let's not pretend that it's the most optimal for all, especially families

This honestly would kick ass - you could cut out a ton of car trips just by adding one bus and one driver ($250k for the bus, $100k/yr for the driver) to small towns. Even just going up and down mainstreet would be nice. You could repurpose school bus drivers!

But that would "enable cars" somehow so it can't be done.

Heck you don't even need the biggest busses as short busses could suffice most of the time. The advantages of busses is their flexibility in sizes and fulfillment of needs

I 100% believe nojustacuck will release a video along the lines of: "How back up generators are killing your children." They have an ICE and most have wheels, basically a car.

That's California. The location with the 2nd most power outages in the country, after Null's house in the swamp apparently. Serious emissions restrictions now, ban in 2028.

What about the electric busses Russia has? Well, I guess I answered my own question. Even though Moscow is an example of actually decent public transport, a left wing grift channel would not dare say anything positive about Russia in the current climate.

Easy solution: raise ticket prices in the middle of the day to cover the cost of running a whole-ass train with a couple jobless losers inside. Hoep u have 500bux, Jason!

I guarantee he's upset about electrification because he thinks electricity is free and ticket prices would drop. I guarantee he's also a NIMBY who doesn't want expansion at Darlington or Pickering (omg Chernobyl!), doesn't think new power dams should be built and was in favour of McGuinty costing Ontarians millions for cancelling the NG turbine plant in Toronto because a handful of people didn't want to live near it, and he needed the votes.

It got deleted again. What a joke this guy is.

Listen I don't wanna tell you how to have fun, but you'll never 'get' anyone with internet comments. As soon as they see any dissent they delete/ban/block it away. All you do is cause them the momentary discomfort of having to move their mouse hand. This goes for all 'owning the libs' activities too.

Keep in mind, urbanists have already been BTFO so bad by reality, they had to go create these protective over-moderated bubbles where zero dissent is tolerated.

The best thing @FPTMIU can do to piss off urbanists is to vote for right-wing politicians that don't agree with their policies.

Elect politicians that increase speed limits, open roads up to traffic, build more houses/parking, and lower taxes on driving and people like Jason will self-deport back to Toronto and tell their audiences that the Dutch are carbrained Nazis and to not go there anymore.

It doesn't take much to get them to ragequit. Jason, for example, just made a video about how Korea is "carbrained" because they have roads as well as transit and bike lanes and he's made similar videos about Japan being "carbrained" as well. If two of the densest and most transit-friendly countries in the world are "carbrained", then nowhere can possibly meet his standards. You just need to make your country a little bit more car-friendly and you'll be rid of the communist expats who are driving up your housing prices.

It will also be pointlessly expensive, sure it may work in smaller regions, but many of the trains that went through where I lived no longer work. Passenger trains haven't come through here for a very long time as well, so there will be all sorts of shit to repair. Not to mention frigid temperatures during winters damaging the tracks, many of which, have been unused, so I would give it years for somewhere I live. And many Americans seeing how public transport in many cities are like homeless shelters, it makes sense that many don't want anything to do with it. No sane parent wants to explain why the meth addict is overdosing right in front of them to their child.
