Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made tough choices regarding cars in the past, and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.
@brenttoderian.bsky.social Nice point, but I mostly look at this picture and think "ooh weren't all the cars pretty colours?" I always wonder why modern cars are so very boring!
@janeishly @brenttoderian.bsky.social the short answer is that it's easier to sell stuff when everything is exactly as boring as everything else and there's no distinguishing features that customers might have preferences about ><
