Yes but that’s socialist.

And goes against my donors paycheck.

/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn’t rely on cars.

Not quite, the true invariant quantity is the magnitude of the spacetime 4 vector, which depends on rest mass.

It actually goes further than that. In spacetime you’re always going the same speed, the more in space, less in time.

At least from the special relativity perspective.

That seems around what I’d expect the measurement error to be anyway

We caused, indirectly or even directly, many of the causes that people are trying flee from in their home countries in Latin america.

The vast majority of them are trying to flee gang violence.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

They will be safe to eat indefinitely, but may not be palatable, depending on how it’s stored.

Those lots are probably a quarter the size of the lot I’m on, in a affluent suburban house. Maybe even smaller

Its true that it’s not that dense though.

It’s also pretty likely that there are more residents per house than a typical affluent neighborhood.

A lot of strong towns framing uses “financial productivity” defined as tax revenue per unit area, usually acre. Poor neighborhood’s houses may be cheap, but are packed much more densely, leading to higher revenue per unit area. less in taxes per lot, but also lower maintenance costs per lot.

Sounds like intels optane drives

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

The cost to benefit looks way better if you think long term. Especially with climate change on the horizon to compete with planes but emission free.

One of the major problems for upgrading lines is straitening the route, and people fight the emniment domain way harder than they do for roads.

That would ne ideal, but sadly city planning in the United states is too political.

We’ll never get anything done relying on city planning, so the only thing that seems possible is to improve the city organically, through markets.

I don’t disagree, but where I live zoning is a large part of the problem

The zoning in my area perpetuates unwalkable, uncyclable, parking lot infested sprawl, because single family houses take up 84% of the available land.

I don’t want industry to move into neighborhoodseither , but I wouldn’t mind commercial or retail, currently prohibited.

Parking lots waste a lot of area that could be green space too.

But yes overdevelpment could be a problem , but is easily fixed by adding a green space rule to development. Like we have now for minimum parking and such.

Also high speed roads destroy a lot of green space too, with nothing in the median or a good chunk on either side, and huge empty areas in dead zones of interchanges.

Lets not think cuurent car use is good for green space.

I dont mean throw out zoning entirely, but reducing the way they promote single family housing only. I live in a county with a million people and 84% of the land is single family zoning only, I want to throw that bit out.

Also if done right you dont need to zoning for all those things. Transit development will drive denser, walkable areas all on its own if its legal to build those kinds of areas. All the city has to do it manage transit as these areas develop.

I’m not disagreeing with that, but high speed rail from Boston to Miami would be extremely practical. Efficient, fast, convient travel along that corridor reducing dependence on cars for city to city travel. And the area has both the demand and density to support such projects.

And while its impractical now, if it was built to cheapen regional travel in the region it could grow to high use spurning economic development.

I’d love to take a train at a reasonable pace from near to DC to my family in Pittsburgh, or to visit New York.

I might even enjoy a cross country trek to the rockies for skiing on a train, but it’s never going to be an option.

East coast united states has similar population density to most of europe.

It’s just out west we have a lot of empty land.

I agree, it seems like it should be easy to convince libertarians and conservatives with deregulations, but exactly how to frame that argument is tricky.
