And look how much space that cars which aren’t even in use take up. Like 99% of the time they just sit there.
And it’s not even free space. Every inch given to cars is taken away from people and green space.
We need to rebalance the space we all live in.
Why does the tree get a trampoline?
why not?
Obviously cars need at least 3x more room than they actually use because it makes them feel safer driving at higher speeds and great cities are made when cars are able to drive as fast as possible.
Why did he pee everywhere
I dunno, but he should drink more water.
Wow this sub is full of geniuses
We cannot even so much as consider dedicating less of the most valuable land (downtown city land) to cars. It is unthinkable, impossible, and bad for me, somebody who drives from the suburbs and expects to be totally accommodated at the expense of people who live here.
Looks like the sides are on street parking which is better than huge lots as you have an argument to restrict it to residents as it’s in lower supply, and also serves to reduce the speed of cars on the road, so actually better than being a 4 lane stroad
The space close to crossroads should not be dedicated to parking, because parked cars limit visibility of incoming cars. The solution proposed by the maker of the video is much more livable and much less dangerous.
The technique is sometimes called daylighting, and you can find more information about it here
TIL about daylighting, thanks!
?? I love paying for people to store their (one very specific property) for free.
Just shrink the road.
Um paid parking permits?
This place is too full of single minded hate to have a real convo, it’s gotten silly.
Parking is a menace and should be removed as much as possible
Off-street parking is worse than on-street as it requires crossing cycle lanes and sidewalks, usually without traffic controls, so increases the interactions between other road users and cars
No parking altogether discourages car ownership. Unfair to the people who live there to change it aspirationally, but if you provide other transportation options that are better than driving, then you don’t need it.
No free parking.
