One thing I hate about the UK is how London has all the good transport criteria but once you pass the green belt you have to deal with the hell that is out-of-date bus monopolies who make driving a car in 6 hour traffic look like a dream.ublic transi

A lot of naysayers out there will oppose bold changes to Atlanta's street designs by saying "This isn't Europe! Atlanta isn't Amsterdam! Stop expecting us to be what we aren't."

But Amsterdam wasn't always *Amsterdam* -- they had a period when streets were oriented way too heavily toward driving.

Can Atlanta ever make exactly as much progress as they made? Given the enormous scale of sprawl damage to our region, and the extent of our low-density growth, it's sensible to adjust expectations on the timeline of our transformation.

But there's no reason to think we can't eventually experience a similar level of success with breaking away from the dominance of automobiles and becoming a more pedestrian oriented place, and spreading the kind of safe walking/biking infrastructure that's on the Beltline throughout our streets, alongside roadways that are safer for all users.

We need a bold vision for our urbanism, and we need to keep working toward it with the kind of big steps that are appropriate for a major city.

I find it funny that when we are complaining about how prices are skyrocketing, nobody in mainstream media talks about Blackrock or the massive companies bying out literally everything needed for us as the human race to live, but always seem to blame it on immigrants! i wonder where these news corporations get their funding from???

One thing that really pisses me off is that people do not use libraries enough. You have free books, free internet access, free printing, sometimes even free music and audiobooks, games, digital and physical, and maybe thye might host clubs. But, literally nobody has an interest in them or goes to them and use as much as they should. so...

GO OUTSIDE AND USE YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY NOW!!1!

Do you want to know the one problem, we have as a society. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TRAMS!!! (or streetcars if you love in North America...)

They're not prone to traffic like trains and stay above ground and have more stops like busses. There should be more of them especially outside of city centres were they'd be extremely beneficial.

But no, let's build another lane lane on already wide-ass mega-stroad we have in the of fucking town

Attention riders, there is a cat on the train. He is not a paying rider but he is too cute to kick off.
