Yes, the funny thing is that because cities allow so many cars in the city center, congestion, pollution, and noise are everywhere, which makes people want to move to the suburbs, which means they have to drive to get anywhere, which makes

Countries with public health care have problems with health care as well. It is not a silver bullet. The incentives are different but it is still an incentive driven system.

It is widely accepted that driving a dangerous machine that endangers the lives of others is a privilege and responsibility that comes with restrictions.

The main purpose as I understand it is that it allows poorer students to go to the nicer schools. In the US, the schools that are 'good' are all in expensive areas.

You could safely get rid of most of those things if you made the car go no faster than say 25mph. Just put speed limiters on them and the crash speeds will go way down as will the design requirements.

The main problem is Seattle/California engineers can make way more than Ann Arbor, although pay seems to be trending up.

They are not the problem with residential real estate prices. The real problem is people that prevent additional housing from being built.

The real benefit is that it gets people out of owning a car. The less people with cars, the more sensible decisions will be made. How many poor citymaking decisions are because of 'parking'? It is probably the number one concern o

Agreed. All of the above. The garage in front thing has a name as well 'snout house' as it looks like it has a snout.

I get your point, but you don't have to be rich to get away with killing someone with a car. Double the speed limit in a residential area, kills kid, acquitted: https://www.kmov.com/news/former-st-louis-county-offi

I wish sprawl was addressed in the US. New housing is definitely needed but it seems like the cheapest way to do it is always expanding ever outward in car-dependent suburbs. We need to price externalities of car use yesterday.

Look at this: https://ourworldindata.org/crop-yields The yields/unit area go up and to the right, which means two things. One is that we need less land for agriculture, which frees it up for other purposes, including a

They just lowered it in Paris to 30km/h. Lower speed is directly correlated with less crashes. The other benefit is less noise, which is very important in an urban area. In most urban areas now the loudest most constant noise is from v

Perhaps if she is struck then the drivers were going too fast? Maybe the speed limit should be lowered. Perhaps the street could be designed in a safer way to make this less likely to happen. Calling everything an accident is ignoring the

Any solution requires political will. The simplest, easiest, highest likelihood of success solution is a pollution (carbon) tax. If it started small and ramped up a little each year, people may not even notice too much.

Let's say that Facebook was killed off by the government. Does that mean no more social networks? The problems that were 'leaked' are public problems that any such company at scale deals with. They are problems that banning F

In almost any area with high demand, the prices are almost as high as California. The same zoning restrictions are everywhere.
