With ebikes you may not even break a sweat while riding. Really most of these are solved/solvable. I think the hardest part is just getting the political will for the infrastructure.

It still boggles my mind that, with a 15% car ownership rate, how NYC not only still allows cars, but subsidizes them with absolutely free parking on city streets. The real estate price for a single parking spot in NYC must be astronomical.

Bikes do not decrease quality of life. More exercise, more fresh air, and better health are all quality of life increases.

It is space taken away from drivers, but drivers will treat a painted bike line as more space for a car. This is why the only safe bike lanes on a road with cars are ones that have physical protection from cars.

E-bikes are magical--riding straight up steep grades without breaking a sweat. They really aren't even that expensive. The tax credit for a single EV car could pay for three decent ebikes in the US.

The sad fact is that most bicycles sold in America are not equipped properly for inclement weather or for utility. They should all have fenders and bike racks/baskets and the utility increases immensely. Fenders alone are super helpful

Amsterdam had to figure it out the hard way. When they did it, nobody even knew what to do. Now that they have done the hard work, the patterns can be copied elsewhere. What I am talking about are the junction designs, bike path designs, et

This is why zoning is dumb. How do most cities zone? They draw borders around what is already there and make it a zone based on what is there. The first effect is to freeze those areas how they already are. The places that are not built up

Zoning has nothing to do with the safety of the constructed building. Isn't the article only talking about zoning?

The building code and fire code thing is not true. Building codes are actually very flexible. There are plenty of ways to build a building to look exactly like almost any old building and fully comply with all codes.

The eviction moratorium is for people that make up to 99k or 198k married.

What do you think makes for an engaging road? One thing that comes to mind is road width. A narrower road forces a driver to pay more attention.

If cars were limited to a certain speed it would for certain cut down on crashes. It would also cut down on fatalities. When the news article says "speed was not a factor", they are only referring to the fact that the driver was g

I do agree that road design would drastically cut down on excess speed and crashes. I'm not so sure about roundabouts as a solution though. Roundabouts may be useful to allow more cars to travel through a place but they are not great f

The reality is that average human reaction times at speed are not very good and many people do not care to pay much attention or even follow the rules of the road. Most roads are also not designed for safety. They are usually designed for s

Cities probably should be filled with max 56kph tiny vehicles rather than max 249kph vehicles. Space is limited and standard cars take up a lot of it.

They don't go that fast. If auto manufacturers designed cars that would go max ~25 mph, the safety concerns are completely different and much less. A Tesla is WAY overbuilt for going 25 mph.

I agree in that constraints can make for creativity, but as a parent, it is very very difficult to create that environment.

Noise from vehicles in North America is incessant and pretty much not regulated/enforced whatsoever. Even electric vehicles are just as loud at speeds greater than about ~30 mph. You can hear it all hours of the day if you are within s

Zoning does not prevent either of those things. In my town, massive subdivisions went in next to a garbage dump. Now people are complaining about the garbage dump. It was all 'zoned.' Look at industrial areas on a google map. They

I think this may be caused by zoning. If people were allowed to gradually grow an area rather than wait until things got 'rezoned' before a place can built up, we might see less of the 'big developer' type construction a

I mean, a political conservative is generally thought to be fiscally conservative and for free markets and private ownership while also being socially conservative. Zoning would definitely be against free markets and private ownership. That

The inner suburbs should stop subsidizing it by not widening freeways. Right now outward expansion is highly subsidized by everyone paying for those roads and not just the people living 1hr away from the city center that are commuting.

I think you just thought up a new experiment. Should be tried in an area with high demand and nothing but single story homes.

Perhaps it matters where you are coming from? We are using Rust to replace C on embedded. It is a breath of fresh air for that. C++ will work for that, but is not a breath of fresh air. We are shipping better code much faster than the equiv

It mentions in the video that most money for road initial construction comes from State/Federal. Thus the true ongoing costs are masked and so it continues.

It still goes through the city center with a lot above ground. Definitely better than before though
