@daveunderwood we should fill them with water, new Venices must be born
Baron Vonskinnback@Arcana @daveunderwood climate change is working on this as we speak...
Ferrichrome@daveunderwood I saw this image posted on Facebook and it got a very different reaction. Lots of people saying “just get a car” and “good, I like driving” and shit like that. So many people can’t see the point and can’t understand how other people’s lives are made worse by car dependency
@Ferrichrome yeah, I'm not surprised. Sometimes people like that are trolling, but sometimes they are also being genuine. Car Brain is a real thing…
Green Roc Thoughts@daveunderwood My past life believed streets were rivers. One of which was named Nile Street. Do not cross the river Nile.
Trustem_At_Armslength@daveunderwood After having my eyes opened by the Netherlands on what a city could be, this is all I see my country as. Going to show this image around to gauge my inner circles reaction.
Edited for clarity.
@Trustem_At_Armslength I don't know if you know the xkcd comic? But he did a thing along these lines recently: https://xkcd.com/2832/
@daveunderwood I was unaware of that comic blog, but this* is literally my situation 😂 😭
Thank you for sending this to me lol

The abyss…
The abyss…
Rik D'huyvetters@daveunderwood as a cyclist I don't see it that way. It's a hyperbole, and I'm not sure it helps our cause.
@Rik_Dhuyvetters fair enough 👍
jfml - Jonas Laugs@daveunderwood It makes me so angry every time I go out 😭
Shark Attak@daveunderwood ..except that roads aren't invalicable moats, you can cross them on foot -as long as you pay attention-
Phil Rees@SharkAttak @daveunderwood ... except that when you do cross on foot while paying attention you sometimes get a dickhead in a hotrod roaring through the zebra crossing behind you shouting "You fucked up mate!"
I guess he was in a rush to polish it in his "invalicable" garage.
screambiogenesis@SharkAttak @daveunderwood As illustrated by the people crossing the bottomless voids on wobbly planks.
Drivers can't even be fucked to stop at stop signs. In recent years, that's been increasingly true of red lights as well, at least where I am.
Combine that with vehicles having worse and worse forward/outward visibility and, well... Mr. Jilg's artwork holds up rather well.
@screambiogenesis @SharkAttak I completely agree 👍
Roger Mexico@SharkAttak @daveunderwood It's a $50 fine where I live now. In my last city it was a $250 fine.

fatuus@daveunderwood very good way of representing it. Thanks for sharing 👍
@fatuus no worries 👍
Hat. AuDHD cat 😷🌺🍉🌻🔻@daveunderwood historically inaccurate.
POMPEII !ooked like this!
The roads were SEWER DITCHES.
Also fhis isn't wheelchair accessible.
Where are the NON abled people?
Peter Brown@daveunderwood  unfortunately, there are far too many motorists, who still see the street like this
Mac_CZ 🇦🇶@daveunderwood It's probably necessary to repeat it again and again. Cities are there because of traffic, not other way around. Without traffic the city will disappear.
@Mac_CZ I suspect we probably disagree on this point. Thank you for your comment though.
Steve@daveunderwood never seen this. Marvelous.
smy20011@daveunderwood Beautiful one
Henrik Sundström@daveunderwood I love it. Thanks for posting.
@henriksundstrom My pleasure 👍
Tomek Kuźma@daveunderwood I think about daily. My opinion now is that’s it’s a war. Poeple vs cars. And we are loosing
Lot⁴⁹@daveunderwood One of my favorites. A beautiful depiction of the average pedestrian experience.
Alexander Knochel@daveunderwood Yes, it is very good
sebastian büttrich
wortwart@daveunderwood not in the picture: the constant noise and the pollution from exhaust fumes and tire abrasion.
Timotej Papler@daveunderwood i fear its even worse, on the sidewalks pedestrians get terrorized by food delivery drivers on their motorcycles.
