Read all about it here (skip to section 1.5 if you like but the whole thing is worth your time) and then check out Not Just Bikes on youtube, his Strong Towns playlist is a great place to start.

Ban kids making up dumbshit challenges and attempting them?

You say circumcision, I say castration, ehhhh potayto potahto

Yes it can.

Not Just Bikes - The Wrong Way to Set Speed Limits [STO6]

It’s stuff you don’t really think about like the visual width of the road and long straightaways that let you detach from the dangers of speeding. It’s not just main arterial roads. Traffic calming can and should, arguably more than anywhere else, be employed in those back neighborhood roads as well.

There are actually a lot of ways to slow down cars beyond asking nicely with signs. And it’s not just speed bumps.

The way we design our roads psychologically encourages speeding. Shitty people are out there but road design is important too.

I have a video on the tip of my tongue that I’d like to link, demonstrating this, but I’m too lazy to look it up right now. Maybe later.

Edit: this one will do

They also need to move truck headlights lower to the ground. There’s absolutely no need for them to be eye level.

Lmao. This argument isn’t worth having.

Unfortunately, there are some new builds made by developers trying to maximise profit at the expense of the residents who don’t do this.

AKA every developer in an american suburb

Side note - even in an apartment (a large complex that is mostly parking lot and big patches of barren lawn) the lawncare guys that come through several times a week starting at 8am drive me up a fucking wall. I can’t fucking stand lawns dude. Give me patches of unmoderated and peaceful nature over that shit any day. Density and nature do not have to be mutually exclusive.

An apartment building doesn’t have to mean renters. Condos are a thing that exists…

If that’s what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)

I’ve talked personally to climatologists. My mother minored in meteorology. I’ve read the articles, I’ve watched the documentaries, I’ve seen Bill Nye.

Is this satire? It has to be satire.

Honestly I think we’re past oops and fuck and the current attitude just isn’t pictured cause it goes off the page.

Given lawmakers that understand how the internet works, I think it would be. To me this isn’t any different than a handful of years back when ISPs were throttling websites to give an advantage to the certain ones that paid them to work faster.

What other intercity passenger rail operators are there to speak of? And what does that have to do with who owns the actual rails?

We are actively being held back by companies catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator.

Also the fact that the vast majority of our remaining rails are owned by private freight companies that get to make up silly rules like passenger trains having to pull over for ridiculously long and slow freight trains to pass them.

Read the blog post. I can totally see where the writer is coming from. Vlad’s email responses are pretty laughable with that added context. Not only did they tell him they weren’t interested in engaging, but the responses he sent anyways thoroughly dodged the substance of their arguments. They did their research and came to pretty reasonable conclusions, and vlad totally talked around/failed to address the points that really matter. Kinda slimy ngl.

I can also see from the highlighted discord exchanges why they weren’t interested in engaging with him further. Sure he “responds” to everything, but he doesn’t really engage with constructive criticism. Whether or not the guy is autistic isn’t really relevant to whether he can run the business competently and make sure questions are answered in an honest and transparent manner.
