Wait, people sit in traffic for interminable amounts of time to commute to work and schlep their kids around and then have to carve out MORE time from their days if they are going to get any exercise at all?

My dad ended up in the ICU in a town about 40km away (he’s doing well). This is his normal hospital. We have 10 family members in town, and my partner and I are the only ones capable of driving. Public transportation to this hospital from our town barely exists.

I’m completely happy to take the support role, but it is alarming that without my partner and I, everything would break down. I’m switching to the medical provider in my town.

15-Minute Cities for Leftists - Radical Planning

What are 15-minute cities and why are they good for both the cities and the environment? How has this concept been coopted by conspiracy theorists as some sort of totalitarian conspiracy? Are you confused? Radical Planning attempts to explain it all in this video.

15 minute city conspiracy theories result in a huge turnout to discuss a city plan that....does not include 15 minute cities.

I feel very sorry for city planners right now.

Electric vehicles are not safe, they're not ethical, and they're certainly not "green".

Moreover, there aren't enough resources on the entire planet to come anywhere near close to replacing every diesel and petrol vehicle with an electric vehicle.

In NSW Transport for NSW own research shows 30kmh saves lives.

> There is a 10 per cent risk that a pedestrian will be killed if hit by a modern car at 30km/h. At a 50km/h impact speed, the risk increases to 80 per cent.

Yorkshire, England: Man uses a cordless angle grinder to cut down a surveillance camera, the day after it was installed in his neighbourhood.

Is this what will end up happening to the cameras that make '15 minute cities' possible?

Raised sidewalks: Are these doable in cities that do significant snow-plowing? @AmericanFietser posted (on the bird site) a great video of one in a warm climate. A city transportation employee here in Maine told me these don't work with snow plows.

"[Stockholm] is taking another step towards a more sustainable future by creating its first bicycle street, where cycling is the priority on Surbrunnsgatan. This initiative is part of the city’s efforts to promote cycling as a viable mode of transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality." momentummag.com/stockholm-is-g

"In 2021, San Franciscans made 4.7 million trips on bicycles, and the city boasts more than 463 miles of bike lanes, paths and trails.
Just 30 years ago... there were just a few bike lanes, no slow streets and not nearly as many people on bikes.
“There was literally no place where the bicycle was accepted to be on the road. said Chris Carlsson, author and historian." kqed.org/news/11941576/the-nig
