  • Cars are faster, cover long distances which are just infeasible for bikes, are more comfortable, can be used in bad weather, and are needed for people with disabilities.

    In many cases the long distances were created by cars. Cities worked fine before cars. But cars demand so much space that cities became spread out.

    A solution to this problem is to repopulate city centers around the country by replacing parking lots with mixed use buildings.

  • The electric interurban railways in America talks about the history of electric passenger trains that connected American cities particularly in the Midwest. Lots of fun maps of the networks and they describe how all the companies failed.

  • Imo the real story is Eugene decided to expand its UGB 8 years ago. Maybe that was a mistake, I'm generally not a fan of building things at the edge of town. But on the other hand, the airport is already there, and it would be nice to have transit to the airport. Building more things next to the airport can help make that happen
