And on top of that is public transit, combining bus/rail with a bike gets you lots of places around the city and between cities. A bike is like walking but more efficient and lower impact on joints. Need a place to put my bike on board tho

Most of civilization is traversable terrain, you won't catch me riding my bike up the hill in San Francisco, but if I have access to my bike and I'm in an American city (the only places in the US that are worth living to me), I've got a ton of area I can ride. Need safe bike infra tho

I wish music was real 😔🙏

To a narrower field of view. Which is why speed needs to be decreased outside of limited access roads. Drivers need their attention forced towards a wider field of view in order to prevent crashes. Drivers can be forced to attention, and cars can be prevented from speeding, by street engineering.

I need to go on a CA70 Feather River Canyon trip again, California geography is so good

We should post cities :)

I've never taken it but I sure do love spending hours on C:S transit/bike infra construction :)

We need to debloat arterial roads and allow high density further out than a block away from them. The high noise level of cars on conventional American arterial roads can be reduced, and we can break restrictive development.

Transit's success depends on density, and it suffers with thin sprawl. Walk and bike shed is necessarily a part of this, where without dense ToD, walking to get anywhere takes too long, and the area doesn't serve as functional city space.

It's maddening, but also kinda funny when somebody's parked car gets moved and the unset graveltar goop sticks to their tires so you can see evidence of it when you're out walking lol

That *crammed* yes, me too. The DASH route to Griffith Park gets very loaded. But not that *cramped*. There's seats on transit vehicles, they're a lot wider than this image depicts. People on crammed city buses and metro cars can both sit and stand.

Bikes and shoes cause so much less wear compared to bloated cars, it's an easy choice for professionals with neurons to rub together

- city leaders mandate carsprawl to degree previously unknown to humankind
- realize city revenues would never be anywhere close to sufficient to cover basic road maintenance costs
- nevertheless maintains traffic division staff dominated by carbrains
- nobody could have predicted what happens next

I've had whole streets and highways paved with that stuff in NorCal, fun fun fun 🙂🙂

It has a useable system nowadays too. Needs to continue to see the investment they've been putting into it in recent years. LA should become the giant transit oriented walkable/bikeable metropolis it was always meant to be.

The drop-in replacement of urban highway rights of way with metro/regional rail lines and dense development/new and expanded parks would give cities greater benefit in 5 years than the highways ever could in 50. The tax revenue of the newly developed space can pay for the rails.

I've never been in a transit vehicle that felt this cramped, they're always big in America so even a full bus feels less cramped than a modern automobile. It's not even about legroom, though there's always more on transit, the amount of space in every other dimension in a car is less, big or small.

I hate using phones and TVs, they're so clunky and inaccurate. I still dislike "full gesture" navigation, I want my partial gesture nav back from Android 9.0

Go place, take foot
