It has nothing to do with the size of the US. You don’t drive from NYC to LA to pick up a fridge. You drive to the nearest city. So why should they not be able to deliver it to you?

And if you live so rural that that’s not feasible – well that’s your issue then, nobody’s forcing you to live in bumfucknowhere.

You rent a van like every normal person on this planet.

You can haul pipes on a van. Plumbers in Europe carry them on their roof. You can also leave the rear door open if it’s just once in a while.

You can haul dirty stuff in there, it’s not like they’re lined with fur and suede. There’s also open vans. Notice the low and accessible flatbed where all sides can be fold down: https://rjclowloaders.co.uk/product/open-back-van/

And re the pizza oven, that’s not a theoretical idea: https://azurebikes.com/shop/wood-fired-pizza-truck-for-mobile-catering/

I’m sure hauling a washer and dryer would be difficult

Not difficult at all:

Oh, it’s not just Canada. If you post this in a German forum (you know, home of one of the densest public transport networks in the world), suddenly everyone lives in a remote village in the Black Forest and has to drive 40 km each day to work. It’s also always impossible for them to choose where to live and work, and when asked how people who cannot afford to buy a car or cannot drive at all manage to do so they suddenly get very aggressive. 🤷‍♀️

That much. Wow. Sad!

I’ve got a question for you, you’re an expert in these matters: Does it hurt to be an idiot?

Taxis are popular because there’s too much traffic. Yeah, okay…

So New York doesn’t have homeless people, drugs, and crime? Or is NYC not a high-density area? Or why are there 8 million trips daily?

but that’s the barrier

No, it is not the barrier. It is one possible barrier, and if you want to remove all possible barriers before you start, guess what, you’ll never start.

“We need to have higher density! But we can’t have that because of parking minimums! But we can’t get rid of parking minimums because we have no public transport! But we can’t have public transport without higher density!” 🥳

they still wouldn’t take it because

Those people will always find a reason. Now it’s to dirty and unsafe. Now it’s too expensive. Now I relocated and the train doesn’t stop here.

Stop stealing oxygen, coffin dodger

You don’t know shit about linguistics.

Edit: oh I see… You don’t know shit about a lot of things… https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/754132/-/comment/4516568

The second sentence can be read like you’re complaining you can only go 110 while your car could go 250, and I guess a lot of people understood it this way.

Wow, you brought a chart, how nice.

Now, can you explain to us, how is removing the „administrative control“ – the one that the people living there literally campaigned for – without implementing any of the other steps „doing the right thing“?

You’re the kind of person who takes away the workers‘ masks saying „What they really really need is better air conditioning! I’m very intelligent!“

And to be very clear, you applauding those idiots is costing lives https://thelemmy.club/comment/6734593

Go fuck yourself and your chart.

And you don’t consent to speed limits, got it.

Ah, right, traffic cameras in fucking Cornwall, this is where we really really need to draw the line and talk about systemic discrimination.

Fucking clowns.

There are more poor people than rich ones being filtered into the justice system by cameras.

No, the only ones who are „being filtered into the justice system“ are people who are speeding, no matter how rich or poor or gay or black they are, and there’s an extremely simple solution for not being „filtered into the justice system“: stop driving too fast.

Here’s another idea: let’s cut down all red lights too, they also „filter more poor people into the justice system“.

Which does change what exactly about this being about people who are fined for a traffic violation and not discriminated for „being different“?

https://thelemmy.club/comment/6734593

What part of „functioning even more effectively as a tax on being different“ should I be re-reading?

You mean studies like this https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/eu-road-safety-policy/priorities/safe-road-use/safe-speed/archive/speed-cameras_en

And this https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/calculator/factsheet/speed.html

And this https://www.rospa.com/media/documents/road-safety/speed-cameras-factsheet.pdf

And this https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0221267

?

TIL speeding is just „being different“ 🤡

There’s really nothing you morons won’t come up with to justify going as fast as you want to.

Yeah yeah, I get it, you only want to „break car dependency“, sure. So what exactly does cutting down speed cameras do to „break car dependency“? Oh right, nothing.
