Yep, you'd be even healthier! :) But you wouldn't get to reap all those sweet sweet housing, infrastructure, and gas subsidies of living in the burbs.

This is stuff that gets left out a lot by hurried programmers (like me). A simple unceremonious <p>Loading...</p> at the top of the page is better than nothing.

I don't hate cars. I want people to understand how much we subsidize them. I want to bust the myth that they are the only way in the US and I want that to lead to subsidizing alternatives. In the USA the car is the solution to every ci

Yes, exactly, increase cost of sprawl. BUT also decrease cost of density... pretty hard considering the momentum behind sprawl. Sprawl looks less attractive when it's more expensive. Density looks more attractive when it's cheaper

Increase cost of "sprawl" and car ownership - increase price of parking, add tolls, increase property tax for "sprawl". Decrease price of more dense, transit oriented (ie development where walking or taking the bus is ju

This is a huge issue IMHO. It's interesting to see comparisons of different transit solutions by how many people they get to switch modes. For example buses usually are very cheap but get few people to switch. Streetcars on the same ro

Federal, state, and local governments have ignored "induced demand" for 50 years and the result has been endless highway building. This is an effective subsidy for "sprawl" and is a huge driver of why the US built enviro

I just gave a bunch of examples of how we're making driving cheaper than it would be if only supported by user fees... that's a subsidy. I think we subsidize it because we thought it was a good idea back in the day - we chose cars

There's some data that says cars give people without helmets more space than those with them.

by andys627 11y ago
Totally agree. Helps to point out how much we've been subsidizing personal auto use - mainly by not charging user fees enough to cover all costs of driving.

Traffic around good places to park consists of lots of cars circling. Maybe a result would be less parking and less cars circling so more of those primo real estate places can be dedicated to other uses.

The US is massively subsidizing this lifestyle and making it more attractive than elsewhere in the world. This is the only excuse for US style suburban sprawl vs similarly developed countries. We are massively subsidizing it by: -Not pricin

Congrats! How do you do the data entry? How do you plan on scaling the data entry? Do you have real estate experience?

It seems like you're assuming that the only priority is moving cars around - not walkability or livability. In other words it seems you're assuming the only purpose of the built environment is to move cars. I argue that it isn&#x2

Meet other developers (at meetups or coworking spaces) and ask them if they know someone who's hiring.

I've had some success on the who's hiring thread by 1) showing off what I've done on a personal website, dribble, github, whatever. And 2) taking 5 minutes to poke around the employer's site and explain how your skills&#
