Not living in USA anymore you can’t imagine how much I miss this business. Even in the land that created the DIN norms, we’re not even close

Do suburbs next!

It’s almost a magical girl transformation, and it’s excellent quality

I need a prequel where it’s a synthpop kpop fantasy of the sunlight sisters and how rumi came to be

Very much agreed.

While it does seem like a proper study from nyu, it looks like it comes from a place of bias toward real estate development. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it also gives the impression that the benefits that would come from the free buses.

The article does do due diligence at the end and talk about the benefits.

Idk this whole thing just gave me “perfect is the enemy of good enough” vibes

This article feels like the NYC version of proposing a hyperloop to try and gum up the development of a perfectly good plan like a high speed train.

The 68 tram in Berlin has stretches that are fully in the forest that were designed to allow people to go to nature for recreational reasons.

It’s gorgeous, in some parts it feels like you’re in a Miyazaki movie

Stay with the bike share / rental if you’re not ready to buy a bike.

I relied exclusively on a bike share for seven years and only got a bike recently because the government withdrew a subsidy and the service has declined.

But the concept of just renting the bike as needed and not having to worry much about availability or maintenance and storage, is a really big component of why I used them for so long.

I still use them with some regularity, but not as my main bike like before

Not with my body lol. Also palma is only a little flat

Way too hot. I’d arrive fully soaked in sweat anywhere I go

I’m happy it’s working so well there. Here in Berlin the bike share operated by the same excellent company list the city subsidy, and the service clearly started declining immediately.

I’ll be honest, the weather in palma wouldn’t allow me to bike for at least six months out of the year, but when I saw them in action it made me happy the service is successful.

This paired with free public transit for residents is really the way to do it!

Counter point (published before): https://aftermath.site/cyberpunk-urban-design

The argument is that they took all the not fun parts of driving (namely parking and retrieving your car) to make driving fun.

The comments on the video are butchering it, particularly since it’s a game. Which makes sense, since the car element feels more like a style and gameplay choice that they managed, while still building what seems like a walkable city.

I mean, I didn’t even like the driving in cyberpunk, but getting the cars was fun and I loved my little quadra.

I’d love to live in a neighborhood that has “ass” in it’s name

Oh thank you for the reminder that I need to watch this

“Excuse me waiter, from which minority do you source these meats?”

Even though they don’t come without challenges, I think they have the chance to increase the access to mobility for a lot of people that could otherwise be limited.

The same for scooters, as much as I dislike them and refuse to try them, they do provide mobility for a lot of use cases where a human powered bike is not the ideal solution

Can’t wait for these useless assholes to be voted out next year

Thank you! Omg as someone from a different part of the third world… Been there, done that

Doesn’t load unless you have an app or account 😭

That’s not necessarily the case, a lot of repairs are done intercepting the issue from the sides and digging underneath. You see this method constantly. If every repair needed full access from above, any repair would be prohibitive
