Virtually every American city already has an incredibly excessive quantity of parking, so I doubt removing a single parking lot is really going to change that.
Driving is incredibly harmful to cities. Making it more difficult is a net benefit even if a small number of suburbanites will be inconvenienced. I wish there was another way, but there really isn't. There won't be enough demand for alternatives if driving is too convenient due to all of the subsidies pie society provides for drivers, including excessive parking spaces in city centers.
The best way to allow suburbanites to enter the city is bike infrastructure for closer suburbs and rail or brt for more distant ones. If we're concerned about those people then we should focus on expanding those things rather than preventing urban neighborhoods from getting better for the benefit of people who only visit them.
And yeah a hotel isn't ideal since it's also for visitors but it generates a lot more revenue for the local area than a parking lot does. And it does that without as much harm as a parking lot causes.
True but this is the bad kind of weird in my personal opinion. Much of Europe is still quite puritanical--it's just by comparison to other places they appear enlightened.
I would like to see more alternative algorithms. Maybe through frontends? Not sure. But I think Lemmy's algo is pretty bad still. I regularly see posts with tons of downvotes. Why show these? It must be something to do with how it boosts new posts.
Terrorism is pretty much a propaganda word since it's virtually always applied to non-state actors rather than states, even when they take the exact same actions. And even among non-state actors it's usually a political designation, with commentators long having described the arbitrary distinction between terrorists and freedom fighters.
Look, just because I was born and spent my entire life inside the occupied territory of the US empire doesn't mean it's my flag. Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby.
lol this is the issue. It's objectively not dangerous (or at least not more so than driving) but there are certainly some very uncomfortable situations that can happen. And I think a lot of people can't really tell the difference between "this is an incredibly weird and uncomfortable social interaction" and "my life is in danger".
I'm surprised they're so reasonable. They want to pave huge portions of my local park despite the presence of 3 parking lots already to make sure park visitors never have to walk from the parking lot to any amenity. It must be immediately adjacent.

Aww so holesome
Reeks of desperation but I'm here for it anyway.
What if my gender is daytime socializer?

More normal... still kinda weird though.
True but I don't think the early Russian revolutionaries were sheep. Decades of totalitarianism shaped them into that.

Huh? But they overthrew the Tsar. What do you mean by that?

Also 30 minutes.
Like father, like son.
The stats say otherwise.

Yeah but a hotel is still better than a parking lot. It's literally the worst land use possible.
No one deserves to be abducted by ICE, but it's a lot funnier when it happens to some people than others.
Damn such a shame that all those bricks are about to go through BD's windows...
No thanks.
lol I'm familiar. This is private property though. Did you watch the video?
