    I don’t think I personally would have removed this (I was thinking about it before the explanation was posted but decided against it after it was). But I think the other mod who did had a point. Before removal that comment had -21 votes so it’s clear most people did not get or approve of the joke either.

    While I don’t think it’s xenophobic, I do think it might encurage harmfull behavior (i.e. some edgy kid actually doing what the comment suggested). Combined with the poor reception of the joke I think the removal was justified. And even if it wasn’t it’s not nice to call the removing mod a bastard.











  • I live here and recently had to borrow a car for a vacation. Of course I had to drive it through the city as well and it always surprised me how car-friendly it is. You are on a highway or road (or stroad) pretty quickly most of the time, so there’s not much need to actually drive through most streets. Also -at least in my area- parking was sooo easy to find! I don’t understand why peaople park so horrible here; I was able to find a free & legal spot within a 10 minute walk every time…

    The only thing that really is in your way are other cars during rush-hour. Which makes the increased speed limit even more ridiculus; outside of rushour you’re not losing much time because of it and within you’re not gaining anything because it’s just stop and go anyways.

    I have to say that my experience cycling has improved since I moved here though. Maybe it’s because I moved closer to the center at some point, maybe it’s because I got used to it or it’s because of the protected biking infrastructure the previous government & the districts were able to build. I just hope we get a rrg coaliton again next time around so things are going to continue improving.

    Public transit is awsome if you don’t live too far out. For some areas I can understand why people might find it frustrating to rely on it.
