im goin to nascar this weekend. first time! excited

nascar!

theres that too. my go to example for a pedestrian success story is innsbruck, austria. similar population, but their pedestrian area is booming. it also helps that they have 6 (six!) tram lines and intercity rail to every corner of the country + other countries (as far as amsterdam!)

but they also didnt flatten half the city for highways and supported density instead of suburban sprawl. go figure

im absolutely hypocritical considering i live in the burbs, but at least im aware of the problems and what we can do to fix things

better yet, speed bumps

americans when people suggest bare minimum traffic calming: 😡

americans when the dot flattens half the city and spends billions making interstates (it saves them 4 minutes): 😁

“we’ve tried nothing and were all out of solutions!” - city of richmond

i cant wait until the day this city stops making shitty, sorry attempts at making this city pedestrian friendly. if the city cared enough, they could make cary st 2x better for pedestrians, but thats against their pro-car agenda

its interesting that yimbys are disproportionately young yet they choose a brewery

happy birthday! we both have the same birthdays!

its my birthday!

fr nuclear apocalypse vibes

finally another redditor of culture here

ugh their bakery is great. its actually fresh made

WHO BUYS FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE CONDOMS WHAT THE FUCK go contraception but what the fuck

“though some of it is as bad as our high school french” yeesh

thats literally the entirety of carytown though??

have you tried the auto train? i personally would rather relax in a train than a car

and when was the last time you had a meat donut?

wait what

vegan? i didnt know donuts were made of meat

edit: it was a joke ._.

they have to climb 2 flights of stairs and walk across a piss filled bridge to go over two fucking lanes of traffic. two fucking lanes. and fuck disabled people amirite? they can be killed by cars. and the people with baby strollers, fuck children! and fuck peoples safety at night right? its their fault they got stabbed!

what if we, i don't know, made drivers go slower? oh but that would slightly inconvenience people in cars so that cant happen right? the mere thought of a pedestrian overpass as a solution is ridiculous and im willing to guess you've never actually been on one

yes to more public transportation, yes to condos that are actually walkable, but also yes to redesigning our streets

i would like to see a vcu superblock too. that would be nice

sign me up for horses

yeah, i think the "traffic calming" was half assed though. cops are a temporary solution, ideally we would actually traffic calm the street and create a proactive solution to speeding

yeah. but even if a pedestrian pops out, especially in an area like vcu, they shouldn't die
