If you called for help but no one came, how would you feel? Despite sad songs sung by cowboys, believe that not all roses have thorns. Dare to be stupid but don’t be an American Idiot.
Yeah, definitely, I hadn’t considered that, but that’s also probably not the big problem. The bigger problem is living in a place with 50+% humidity all throughout summer (which I do.) Though, it should be noted that humidity has a moderating effect on temperature, and therefore means that you’re less commonly hitting the mid 90s necessary to eliminate the primary effect.
Yeah, around your body temperature, it shouldn’t do anything. Its been in the upper 80s for a couple hours a day most of the days this month and I’ve been mostly keeping cool with a big box fan, but as soon as it hits 92, I’m closing down all the windows and turning the AC on.
Yeah, and part of the reason many American cities are car dependent hellscapes is because they ripped out earlier public transit in exchange for “more individual freedom” in the form of being forced to pilot multi-ton death machines through heavy traffic to get to anything that isn’t more houses. (Yes, I am aware that this is a case of hindsight being 20/20, and the people who did that didn’t know all the things we know now and thus were extraordinarily myopic, but many European cities (including Amsterdam IIRC) did similar things, but they mostly had the good sense to put it back.)
(To be clear, you are also correct.)
Hah, imagine a corner store…
No, they don’t want anyone on a bike. (Even though if people go from bike lanes to being in cars that will be even more of an inconvenience.)
Ah, sorry, I think I clocked you as one of those anti-urbanism shitheads that comes in here sometimes and says stupid shit. Never mind, we’re in agreement here, carry on.👍
Ok, then you’re not a city guy. I don’t get why self-proclaimed non-city people come on topics that mostly matter for people in cities.
AFAIK, it only applies to a relatively small section of Manhattan, in which traffic makes driving fairly difficult anyway, and most less well off people take public transit. I have heard people from new jersey who have to drive in complaining about it though. It does may be somewhat regressive.
What it is certainly not is whatever people on the right are trying to call it. I might be wrong about any of this though, I’m not a new yorker.
Ok, what is it then?

Me as an urbanist: Awesome, go your town! Me as a communist: That last part is a tad sketch…
This is sad, and they’re getting the absolute wrong message here.
No problem with people who need them having one (my family used to be one of those people,) but its just wasteful if you don’t use it.
But in order to convince people to give up their car, you need a viable alternative to driving.
Yeah, we definitely need both of those to become viable alternatives. But I’m even more excited about the possibility of a solid state battery E-Bike tbh.
I am ashamed to say that I didn’t even see that. That’s lithium (or possibly cobalt.)
TBH, I don’t know any definitions of terrorism that are self consistent (that being, including everything that is definitely terrorism while discluding everything that definitely isn’t.)
Yeah, the main advantage of cars is that they do a lot of things (kinda badly.) We need to do a lot of work to replace cars, and that work definitely doesn’t start with ignoring why cars are so prevalent. We need to empower people through other avenues a lot before most people will switch over.
