    I’m still mad about my lifetime subscription to Big Pants

      And how we’ll do it is block 3 lanes for 2 years to build 1. Then do it again next year.

    Hey OP can you add some indication that this is just another fuckcars rant so I can filter this shit out?

    I don’t really want my social media experience to be a massive bitchfest and circlejerk centered around progressive politics.

    Speak with your money. Move to NYC and use public transit

      Do you guys have just one place with functional public transit?

        You can count on one hand the number of cities we have with actually usable public transport. It’s pretty bad.

        When it comes to public transportation in the US and Canada, any accurate statistics break NYC off from every other area. It’s just an extreme outlier. That said, there are plenty of places where you can live without a car, but you’re going to be sacrificing.

        Off the top of my head I think the best we’ve got is New York, Boston, Chicago, and Philly for the big cities, and for small cities you can either pick something on the edges of one of the big cities which kinda ride the coattails of the big cities transit or other isolated small towns that never redeveloped for cars, though those seem few and far between.

          Portland is quickly starting to climb into that group. A couple more light rail extensions and some more growth on their various tram lines and things are going to be world class for PDX.

          Seattle is also starting to build out transit at a fair clip, but it’s 5-10 years from having it really start to be good. I was really pleased to see that they are doing more than one transit project at a time. So many cities seem to be able to do one construction project at a time and its really frustrating at how slow things change at that rate.

        Learn some geography instead of being a prick. Manhattan is only a small part of NYC.

        Good news! NYC isn’t too bad for murder all things considered. It has a murder rate of 3.39 per 100k, compared to St Louis’ 66.07 per 100k it barely even registers!

          Does this include everyone killed by Green Goblin or are you skewing the results in your favor like you yorkers usually do?
