Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐The thing about #cars that people have completely forgotten is that it's not cars that enable you to live, work, shop, learn, and play wherever you want, it's the fact that we as a society dedicated countless trillions of dollars and a century's worth of our #productivity into building our #roads and #streets and #highways for cars only that enabled that. We did and do have a choice in this matter.
If you want to get out of a hole, first stop digging.
Philip Proefrock, architectThere is no demographic study of machines (at least in the late 1980s). Demographics was concerned about the rising numbers of the poor, but no one worried about the resource consumption of the 9 children and 39 grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
Wasn't expecting a #bancars moment, but in the first lecture, she also points out that -with all that we know about resources and ill effects- no one is talking about birth control for cars
cyclyon 🚲 #POCG"L'aventure" c'est de ne proposer, pour les personnes ne pouvant se déplacer en voiture, qu'un maillage de transports en commun, certes gratuit, mais surtout très limité dans cette agglo.
La D611 est un axe mortifère où la violence motorisée est reine, où se déplacer autrement qu'en voiture semble inenvisageable vu les aménagements et les comportements pratiqués.
Allez faire un tour du rond-point de Chaban, à pied ou à vélo. C'est la guillotine à chaque sortie.
michaelI've seen lots of these parking space conversions popping up in #Dusseldorf (Bilk) as well this month, looks like the city has made it easier there too.

😀🚲People think I'm anti-car or something, but like I just don't want to give up the future of humanity on this planet for a few more years of free parking fossil-fuel subsidy delusion, is this irrational? Pay $5/gal gas tax and market rate for parking, you can still drive, it's fine. #FuckCars #TheWarOnCars #BanCars

People driving to the Multnomah Days parade from like a half mile away and parking in every legal-or-not scrap of space they can fit a car into, every small street around the area packed with clueless drivers who were just cutting-through like they always do. 🫠 #Portland #BanCars from a street and suddenly everybody wants to be there at the same time, f'n amazing.
Lyle Solla-Yateshttps://www.thedrive.com/news/44861/the-carolina-squat-truck-trend-is-outlawed-in-virginia-now-too A little bit of a stir here in sunny #cville as our first squatted truck has been spotted. They are illegal in Virginia because they make it so difficult to drive safely, making an already dangerous design even worse. #cville #SquatTruck #SafeStreets #WarInCars #BanCars
