Airless tyres are generally less efficient with regards to rolling resistance though, right? How does the wasted energy compare to the reduction in replacement rate?

That the buildings are owned by the collective of the tenants, which they are in this case.
I switched from transit to cycling, which saves me around $100 a month on the monthly pass we have here in Stockholm. A bit less so since I still occasionally ride transit and those trips now cost around $4 a ride instead of having a marginal cost of 0.
I'm sure I manage to spend similar amounts buying upgrades and gear for my bike so far, but I also save some time for each trip I make since biking is generally faster from where I live. I also get copious amounts of exercise, so I'm still getting out way ahead
200k or more is pretty normal for a unit in a coop here as well. Unfortunately.
Financialization of housing was a huge mistake, one we will pay for the rest of our lives.
Yeah, it really is a perfect item for communal ownership.
There may be an argument for that, but I'm not sure you can get severance pay in that kind of scenario. Not my specialty though given that I'm not from the U.S.
This is considered standard equipment in all apartments in Sweden, both co-op and rentals.
We had that where I grew up, but mostly heavier machine tools like stuff to cut firewood, trailers to haul stuff etc. Cost just $10 a year and you could borrow it as much as you needed. Banger of an idea to be honest.
I know condos exist,
What's your objection to condos in this case?
I live in an apartment co-op which in many ways is excellent. Highly efficient in both energy, economy and effort required from me. I'm not sure that I'll ever want to live in a house, this is probably the ideal state for me.
It would in the very least be reasonable to require this standard in cases where the primary evidence used for the conviction has been disproven.
I see. Is price the current limiting factor, in that case?
The reason I'm asking is that if this is actually true and ready for deployment, it would be adopted by every single competing cyclist in the world - they are crazy about managing efficiency and removing the possibility of getting a flat would be even more valuable.
Hence there's something missing, however I don't know what.
