Yes but that's socialist.

And goes against my donors paycheck.

/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn't rely on cars.

I've only rented an ev, but only about half the time they have successfully taken a cc. Either they were broken, or it was just missing.

A lot of them have apps, which is very annoying as a renter, but if you own the car it should be less of an issue.

Afaik you don't actually need to purchase a subscription to use them.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

They will be safe to eat indefinitely, but may not be palatable, depending on how it's stored.

Those lots are probably a quarter the size of the lot I'm on, in a affluent suburban house. Maybe even smaller

Its true that it's not that dense though.

It's also pretty likely that there are more residents per house than a typical affluent neighborhood.

A lot of strong towns framing uses "financial productivity" defined as tax revenue per unit area, usually acre. Poor neighborhood's houses may be cheap, but are packed much more densely, leading to higher revenue per unit area. less in taxes per lot, but also lower maintenance costs per lot.

Sounds like intels optane drives

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it's unique.

That would ne ideal, but sadly city planning in the United states is too political.

We'll never get anything done relying on city planning, so the only thing that seems possible is to improve the city organically, through markets.

I don't disagree, but where I live zoning is a large part of the problem

The zoning in my area perpetuates unwalkable, uncyclable, parking lot infested sprawl, because single family houses take up 84% of the available land.

I don't want industry to move into neighborhoodseither , but I wouldn't mind commercial or retail, currently prohibited.

Parking lots waste a lot of area that could be green space too.

But yes overdevelpment could be a problem , but is easily fixed by adding a green space rule to development. Like we have now for minimum parking and such.

Also high speed roads destroy a lot of green space too, with nothing in the median or a good chunk on either side, and huge empty areas in dead zones of interchanges.

Lets not think cuurent car use is good for green space.
