There’s no good reason for these pieces of shit to exist.
Have you considered the profits of the auto industry?
Not really, cars are faster and more deadly. People had to be somewhat careful. The auto industry invented a slur (jaywalking) to convince people the street was no a place for people outside of a car. Look up old footage of cities, people are everywhere in the street.
Things can be done about it, but one party will never vote against one of their own
Wouldn't it actually be water valleys? If you are standing on the shore and watched a boat go up a water mountain at the horizon it would stay visible, there would have to be a valley for the boat to disappear.
I think this is in response to stupid large truck vs kei truck thread that made the front page. All the car brains are going on about how everyone ever needs a stupid large truck to tow 85 boats at once
When I had my roof replaced last year the shingles were delivered by a large flat bed semi with a conveyor belt to get the shingles on the roof. The guys doing the work showed up the next day in small cars. I doubt may people are rolling up to replace a roof with a truck bed full of shingles and carrying them up a ladder.
Large trucks do have uses in a few very limited places but the vast majority in the US are not needed. Looking at self reported usage of truck owners most would be better served with a smaller more economical car and renting a truck as needed. Even people hauling regularly would probably benefit having a kei truck.
Given the usage patterns, most people in the US do not need large trucks. They have been convinced that need them because the auto manufacturers make a lot of money selling trucks.
The argument against mixed use is often that they don't want to be forced to live in a mixed use area, but the same people are fine with forcing everyone to live how they want. Most likely they only want single family homes because they have never experienced good mixed use and can't imagine how great it is.
The line about the officials claiming qualified immunity really makes me angry. Qualified immunity is such garbage. The actual law says they can be used, but the courts made up qualified immunity so they could ignore it.
Bicycles deliver the freedom auto ads promise
They were redesigned for cars. Mistakes of the past can be fixed.
The U.S. The U.S. was that country. The country was built by train.
Oh, and 80% of the population lives in cities!
Did the car industry write this?
Vehicles purchased might go down but vehicle miles traveled will go way up. The cost of driving will go down so there will be more mile driven and then there will be all the added trips of empty vehicles.
You seem to have a serious case of car brain, which is odd because you are commenting in the fuckcars community
Yeah what is going on? Seems like every other comment is full on car-brain-cars-are-freedom insanity. No enough orange pilled people here. Is the opposite of the orange pill the sad grey pill?
