There are thousands of things every bit as predictable and preventable as drinking that impair drivers: youth, age, illness, disease, disability, distraction, rage, excitement and grief. Requiring that we drive everywhere all the time ensures ordinary frailty results in tragedy.
Imo these are the things that should make the news. For the first time since the passage of Hurricane Beryl, Grenada has been able to export close to 100k lbs of Soursop for 3 consecutive Mondays. Only thing stopping a 4th is aircraft restrictions.
Three different uses of kerbside space shown in one street:
10 bike share spaces, 6 private cycle parking spaces or parking for just one private car.
Transport is about moving as many people as efficiently and sustainably as possible; parking should be prioritised accordingly.
Nothing should require an app. There should always be an alternative. You should always be able to leave your cell phone at home or not own one at all. This applies to everything but especially for something as basic as parking.

It's interesting how AI is constantly providing false information and incorrect statements about my area of expertise. Fortunately, it's very useful and always right about topics I know very little about.
People who have reasons for anonymity that you might not know about or understand don’t need to out themselves for your comfort. Please leave this nonsense in the trash bin where it belongs.
4) Yes, there are real challenges that come from grappling with how we can best communicate with one another today, online or off. That does not mean you are justified in demanding deeply authoritarian “solutions” that would not even do what you think they would.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Vivir en barrios caminables se asocia con menor mortalidad, y el mayor efecto protector se observa en los grupos con menor nivel socioeconómico. Estudio con dos millones de personas a lo largo de 15 años.
