A tale told in charts.
The average American household spend $12K a year on transportation.
But the lowest American income decile spends 30% of their income on transportation, whereas the European one only spends 8%.
@jasonc_nc Yeah it does break the massing but does it have dual stairs, three oversized elevators they fit a stretcher laying flat, and do you have a 90 ft of space surrounding the property to fit two fire trucks next to each other?
@ajlamesa About 14% of the Danish population are foreign born.
2/3 of which came from outside the EU.
In the US it’s about 15%.
Denmark would demographically be in a worse state if it didn’t have the immigration to support the aging population.
@BayouBikeyBoi@19th_c_Houston Definitely more bike lanes across downtown connecting everything but also, there shouldn’t be biking on main street imo, pedestrian only.
@HomelessEconomy@pixero00@big_pedestrian I think in the short term states and localities switch to a revenue neutral LVT, while federal taxes on labor and capital stick around.
In an ideal world we’d have a local/state/federal LVT and no taxes on labor and capital.
Much easier to switch at a local than a federal level
