Beyond relevance period?
I thought I meant beyond relevance for urbanism, and by the way I mostly meant for this discussion about snow on bike lanes.
Guy who said "don't put words in my mouth" literally 10 minutes ago
Small towns going bankrupt is a result of newer means of transportation concentrating centers of activity within a region.
If you can't clean the ice for cars, cleaning it for bikes is cheaper. If you can't do any, then don't do any - you've got worse problems. Thus, irrelevant for this discussion.
I can't go by what you thought you meant. I went by what you said.
You literally didn't. You cut it off mid sentence.
It's insane how you've moved the goalpost from "It's impossible to clean snow off bike lanes" to "it's impossible to clean snow off some bike lanes when the conditions of the bike lanes are very specific" to "it's impossible to clean off bikelanes when the city is tiny and too broke to clean it off roads in the first place"
Guess what? Then don't clean them. Discussion has been moved to a segment of the problem that is so small and uninteresting that and if you had been clear about your message in the first place, nobody would've needed to answer you
Bye
That's another thing I never said. I never said impossible. And I have always been talking about where I live, not anywhere else. I made that very clear.

Good thing they aren't sharing the road with cars like around here, isn't it?
