@GottheimerHater@yimbyma@friendchristoph Honestly you could even get a decent amount on diesel-electrics like the ALP45-DPs or a dual mode Stadler FLIRT. I feel like batteries were a minimal work for onsite emissions solution.
@friendchristoph@Pcrawjr It's not even eventually. They're both already at capacity and the MBTA is pushing for an expansion of South Station and adding two tracks at North Station. The tunnel was realistically needed yesterday
@Trunkit_@sushidoe That may be the written rule but I genuinely don't know a single person (myself included) that actually does this, and most people I know won't even stop the car (you're still supposed to stop before you turn)
Trying to get my mindset back into coding on the daily so am doing it how I started as a teenager: lurking in the library reading books as resources to help me learn the languages. Haven't really done much since 2022 but am excited to get back to it
@mauricioTechDev As I get back into coding I've started to notice this. I'm trying to figure out how to best use it to improve my workflow, so this is good to be aware of.
Queens Community Board 6 is voting on a QueensLink resolution on Wednesday, October 14th! We need “rails & trails” supporters like you to show that the people want QueensLink! Sample testimony is available at the 🔗 IN BIO!!
The fact that tech-bro can single-handedly ignite discourse about closing a popular 🚇 station says is exhibit A for privilege and who gets a voice in NYC. 🤷🏾♂️
@JonathanCohn I will say I pushed pretty hard for the third one. I feel like they can be helpful for people who don't think voting in primaries matter because they're closed to the party, and it's one of the reasons we have a huge incumbency problem.
@Dayhaysoos I remember when Machine Learning seemed like a cool way to advance software and now people are using the tools made from it to produce garbage 🙃
Trump is the most corrupt president in history. Lest we forget, Qatar gave him a jet… and the taxpayer is about to spend almost $1 billion to fit it for AF1 service.
AND HE TAKES THE JET WITH HIM WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE.
Staggering corruption from a scum of a president
@ParissAthena I think in the long term it's helpful to have because as you get people in the city driving less it frees up the remaining parking in employment areas for those coming in from further out. I agree we need a better middle ground in a world where we move at a snail's pace, though.
@ParissAthena They are trying to make it more accessible in general (ex: via the Bus Network Redesign, new commuter rail stations, ADA compliance projects, and more frequent service) but the progress has been slower than desirable.
@ParissAthena@velvetsuite It's not like you can't still have parking. However, I really don't feel like people will even consider other options of getting into Boston if the city never invests in them, and because of how small it is that's not really possible without building vertically or taking space.
@ParissAthena@velvetsuite To make a long story short, I feel like enforcing cars as a requirement by dedicating more of our already limited space to storing them is in the long term less equitable than trying to improve other options of getting around so that more people can use them effectively.
