be glad you still have sidewalks, I have seen a lot of US cities that have just done away with making those.
I knew it was bad but it's no sidewalks by default bad down there? I'm sorry for your loss.
I live in a relatively centrist-ish large suburb in North Alabama, about 65k people. There aren't any stretches of sidewalk going for than a couple hundred feet, maximum. Outside of those scarce stretches, you get to walk on the wet grass with the dead armadilloes, a few feet away from certain death at the hands of Billy Bob's Ford F150.
we got stopped by police when we tried to walk from the Stratosphere Hotel in LV to an outlet outside the city (walk time approx. 30 minutes). They asked us if we needed assistance getting there, were asked why we didn't order a taxi and were genuinelly baffled by our desire to walk lmao
Naomi Klein refers to the right co-opting left phases (triggered, othered, fake news, etc) as "pipiking." I think doing the reverse is hilarious, but also imagine a future where it results in an Idiocracy-like dialect 💀
Redpilled is also stolen from the left. In the Matrix, the red pill is a metaphor for estrogen. Anyway, I've taken the orange pill.
Good point. We've gone full circle, or line, on that one.
Idiocracy is a shit movie, language evolves, and dialects are not indicative of intelligence, which is another reason why Idiocracy is a shit movie.
edit: oh no i angered the rabid fans of Liberal Eugenics: The Movie again
mad confusing to see "carcel" in an english post as a spanish speaker since that means jail
They both involve being locked in a tiny metal box, so it fits.
It's got the same root as the English word "incarcerated", from latin carcer - prison. Neat!
Looks like there are bike lanes on the road.
Paint is not infrastructure. I will die on this hill
You could. Let's hope you don't.
I'd bet the sprawl and heat make biking impractical.
Bad drivers and the bike lanes are very intermittent too. The only road I regularly bike on with a bike lane (I try for smaller roads which aren't deemed busy enough for a bike lane) usually has enough cars parked in the bike lane to make it useless. The bigger bike laned roads I ride on the sidewalk.
Why build a city up and condensed when you can just spread it over 100 miles, add 1 rail line, and then declare yourself a great transportation hub?
Never been to AZ, but Dallas sucked balls to walk or cycle in.
