i think that it’s important to reserve enough space to streets. not to build lanes, but to build cafes and seating banks and trees there. it’s a typical problem of cities that they figure out that there’s not enough space to build trees, bike lanes, etc. after the houses are built. better reserve space first.


this isn’t really a showerthought but more of a general opinion, but i’ll post it here anyways because i don’t know where else to post it. (pls tell me if there’s a better community to post it to instead)

    Wow. It’s so easy! I also hear if we all stop eating, food insecurity will disappear within 30 days.

      Spot on, if everything around me was walkable and bikeable I’d still need to drive my car. I’d perish without inhaling exhaust and tire dust. Sunlight? Gross. People? Disgusting. Typical walkbrains

      Tell me you’ve only ever lived in car-centric hellscapes without telling me you’ve never left America.
