Manmade climate change because of cars is not real. I’m still waiting for all the coastal cities to be flooding. They’ve been saying that since 1975. “Muh year 2000!”
If liberals really believed what they say, they would be leaving below sea level New Orleans in droves. Why would you buy property here, if it’s about to go under?

Which again is the subject of this thread.

You realize they are speaking of street and not a station with that comment.
Also, you classified it as an entire line. Do you have a concept of how large the system is?

I took this videos advice and got rid of my cars.
I now walk 20 miles to the store and make my kids walk 6 miles everyday alone to school in a ditch on the side of a major highway the entire way
Best decision I’ve ever made
Highly recommend

Idk. They might chose some poop on the sidewalk for a more stable power grid. Kinda a wash to be honest.

frick that. Owning your own car and your own gun are the most American things there are. A car is one of biggest symbols of freedom in this country. Freedom to go wherever the road takes me if I choose. Sometimes off the road.

Have you ever been there? I lived there for almost a year after Maria. Other than San Juan, the island isn’t “covered” in roads and highways. There’s a loop and a couple cross highways the circumvent the island which are critical if you understood the power infrastructure of the island.

City planning by the generation that eats Tide Pods and wants to cut their genitals off.
I think I’ll keep my Silverado and a few acres.

Beef and chicken are also ruining our lives. Imagine how much more fulfilling life could be if we all ate bugs.

You may have a point in densely populated cities but what about the vast rural America where bikes and trains aren’t feasible? And cities have the suburbs where people commute to work in the city
With high crime and crumbling infrastructure you won’t convince those people to move into the city for a crappy apartment and abandon a nice suburban home

Time to ditch the retarded city planning from the 1950s and embrace the train, bikes, and mixed use developments and neighborhoods.
How do you suggest we reorganize all of our cities that have a completely different structure? Where does the money come from to do this? Any realistic solutions or are we just wanting to be more like Europe?

Believe it or not, you are planning around traffic, or time parking, or 1000 other variables.
Agree, but again, the flexibility for me of going where I want, when I want, and to make as many or no stops along the way and be able to improvise my trip on the fly outweighs the benefits I see from mass transit. I'm really not arguing against mass transit as a viable alternative for many. I'm more arguing against it being so vastly superior to driving your own car. And, like I said, attributing car ownership to a sedentary lifestyle is the biggest crock of shite I've ever heard. If people want to live an active lifestyle,they will, simple as that.

What’s your solution? It’s there and built. Eminent domain entire suburbs and level them to rebuild your idea of better city planning?

Not to mention, it is not arguable that we are all poorer, more unhappy, fatter, and unhealthy due to the tertiary consequences of the mass adoption of the personal car and how our cities are built and designed.
This is due to processed food made with high fructose corn syrup instead of good animal fats combined with technology taking away manual labor, not cars. Cars existed decades before the obesity problem started

Free market development patterns are the way to go. Lower parking minimums and use less public dollars to subsidize commuter highways and sewer systems. Governments shouldn't force people into high rises but also shouldn't get in the way of people building granny flats or mandating parking minimums that add to the cost of building.

Just my experience and thoughts. What you are asking is exactly my point. I’ve never heard or seen any outlet or scientist address this.
Another thought is our control of water. Water’s relatively high specific heat (amount of energy required to change temperature) and the heat of vaporization (amount energy required for phase change…a very interesting subject) makes it a pretty profound heat sink. The fact we pump a shite ton of water from underground to the surface (see the Ogallala Aquifer for crops in the Midwest), dam large bodies of water, etc could also potentially have a pretty big effect. Never seen any literature or heard anyone address this in lecture. Just CO2 graphs that really show little to no correlation with temperature.

The only highlight is perceived independence.
Private auto travel is more expensive to tax payers and the individual. Most of us do not account for this though.
People will bitch about public transportation and how it has to be propped up, but don't use the same logic when driving down the interstate or waiting at a red light.
