Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•[meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportationEnglish
1·3 years agoI own my own private electric scooter and it’s great. Makes for a quite pleasant commute, especially since I have a route that goes on protected bike lanes all the way from my apartment to my work!

1·3 years agoIt’s things like bikes, ebikes, electric scooters, monowheels, etc.

01·3 years agoIf nothing else, car dependency is fiscally unsustainable. We might go kicking and screaming towards the solution, but eventually people will have no choice but to abandon the financial suicide that is making your city car dependent.
In francophone Switzerland, they use septante, huitante, and nonante for 70, 80, and 90, respectively. Much more sensical, imo.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•[meme] Daily reminder that cars are heavy machineryEnglish
0·3 years agoTo top it off, ebikes and escooters have speed limiters or are outright banned in many places, yet cars never have speed limiters in them.

1·3 years agoThey’re showing capacity, i.e., a 3.5m sidewalk can move about 15k people per direction per hour. I’m guessing there’s leeway for cars depending on intersection types/design, speed, etc., whereas there is much less variation in average speed for pedestrians.

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•take a proper gander at my propaganda ruleEnglish
0·3 years agoOh and bonus point for the fact that filing personal income taxes absolutely sucks and is an undue burden on the working class. With carbon (or other Pigouvian) taxes, only businesses would have to account for their carbon. With land value taxes, the government can easily calculate the value of land by similar statistical methods it uses for assessing property values for property taxes and then just tell you what you owe. With severance taxes, only businesses such as oil and mining and timber companies would have to do the accounting.
Hey, this looks familiar! No worries though, glad to see someone liked my impromptu flairs for c/yimby!

This is the propaganda I can get behind.
And with trolleybuses powered on a renewable grid, it’s zero gallons!
