If you go look at street view of this street and the proposed alternative Liverpool Drive, you can see a few things:

1. Eastbound Birmingham is already so wide that drivers are leaving enough room for bikes anyway.
2. Liverpool has street parking where Birmingham does not, so obviously any reuse of that roadway for bikes would face vociferous opposition.
3. The street is steep for bikes, but there aren’t really alternatives to the grade up from the ocean.

So yeah, obviously classic bad faith socal nimbyism. All of that could be solved by the American local government’s worst enemy: physical separators.

You have no idea what a tankie is.

By that metric fucking Lula is a tankie.

Just going to point out that it’s kind of an unreasonable expectation that people will not be sweaty when it’s that hot outside.

Or even just painting curbs, since they say they’ll still ticket drivers parked at painted curbs.

Disagree! I think he has the least pressure on him of any driver on the grid (except Lance). If he’s good, then that’s great for him. If he’s bad then it confirms that no one can drive the car except Max.

K & R? In 2025? That’s not Rust!

Jon Bois the goat

If you consider it objectively, it is in Israel’s (the country, not Jewish people’s) self-interest to encourage diaspora Jews to feel unsafe in their home countries.

Much like the person in the picture, people like attention.

It’s annoying, but it’s far better attention-seeking behavior than previous outlets for that like being an edgelord or “teh penguin of d00m” type shit.

When I was an intern and first moved to the city, all I had ever known was driving to get everywhere. The suburb I grew up in didn’t have any public transit other than school buses.

I think for a lot of Americans (making an assumption here), they don’t even consider modes other than driving. Maybe as part of orientation you can explain the public transit options available.

Look, somebody has to tell the unwashed masses that Israel is our perfect baby who can do nothing wrong.

We should have two Waterfront Parks. Take down I-5.

I mean, if you’re an AnCap and want to destroy the state and replace it with bank contracts, this is definitely the way to do it.

the Knicks also did not have KAT last night

This is pretty unbelievable, since our local businesses are all hurting downtown, and it only seems alive when we block off vehicle traffic during special events.

Promise you these businesses would be the ones protesting if they tried to remove 12 parking spaces to replace them with a bike lane.

But yeah, I love an “activated pedestrian square” with no means of access other than driving.

shoulda been a Trans Am

Lebron’s aura was the only thing keeping AD from falling apart.

Nothing. Sorry. I was unclear. They’ve extended their ban on new buildings taller than 50’.

Same city that recently extended their 50’ building height limit (despite already having several apartment buildings taller than that).
