The coming oil crisis is going to suck, but the one small silver lining is that when oil gets expensive, cities get better.

Not Just Bikes — When Oil Gets Expensive, Cities Get Better

We are heading into a new oil crisis, but this isn't the first time this has happened. The good news though is that history has shown us that when oil gets expensive, cities get better, and that's likely to happen again.

@notjustbikes right now in France underpayed nurses struggle to make a living because the price of oil is jacked up. This means the elderly and the ill will struggle even more. We therefore need to also tax the hell out of oil companies to fund all of the changes we need, and help these workers do their jobs. We can’t wait for these changes to happen naturally !
