My state doesn't have party registrations. It'd just be cheaper to wall us all off and leave us alone in our miserable place, just to be sure.
Of course, you can't wall the side to Canada, but we'll promise to not go there while we are isolated from the rest of the US.
Costco polish dog (from the freezer aisle, since they stopped selling the real ones at the counter). Mustard, catsup. That'll do great. Oh, but make sure to grill it! Yeah, now I'm hungry.
Given the size, wealth, and density of India, I expected the list of underway and upcoming train projects to be much longer and ambitious. Of course, the hyperloop project is... special.

I also expected there to be more high speed rail going on. There's at least one actual HSR route being constructed, but a very long list of "maybe nots" built up. Once the single route goes into service, India will have 300km more HSR than the US does (which is zero):

That'll do! Let's hit the pub.
Top 3 for adults. Top 2 for children.
The downtown Wien area is gorgeous! They've got a good transit system to start with, so there's no reason more of the city can't become pedestrianized. I haven't been there for a while, but I hope they're making progress on turning the city into a better place for people.
A quick search turns up at least some efforts:

The city does score well on urban mobility:

I had one of the 10" eeePC machines for years. That thing was a tank. It did everything I needed it to, especially weird networking configurations. The battery also lasted over 6 hours. I mostly ran Crunchbang #! Linux on it.
I don't think I could live on a 10" screen anymore, but back in the day it was a dream machine.
That's a phenomenal idea, and one that many other cities have used to make their venues usable for big events.
We used to ride the MAX train into events in Portland. Trying to drive to a huge stadium and park is just a huge mess for everyone involved, including the surrounding city that's impacted by it.
TriMet would run extra trains at the start & end of the event. Back then the stadium was also in the Fareless Square area so you didn't even have to pay. Yes, the trains were packed, but that's a good thing. Over time they would run more and more trains, and now the area has trams as well. Downtown event arenas are 100% doable with modern public transit.
To sum up: the referendum to make the core of Berlin largely car free is proceeding past court challenges. If enacted, it would make Berlin the largest pedestrianized city area in the world by a long shot.
The hotel itself was nice, and the balcony had a great view. The problem was the mattress. It was so soft that it provided zero back support. No other options were available.
The net result was both my wife and I ended up with month long back muscle spasms. It taught us a lot about how to resolve back issues, but it's not a lesson I wanted from a relatively expensive hotel in Leavenworth, Washington.
I'm already on the road ahead of you.
Spent 30 years campaigning, calling, sign waving, writing letters, donating to candidates, causes, and groups. Even ran for office a couple of times. Every year it gets worse and I've got kids. They don't need to live in a dystopian place so we're on the road. Headed to a developed nation. Greener pastures,.but it's worth a try.
One of the various conservative thoughts is to make large swathes of US territory governed by corporations and billionaires. Basically, non-state zones subject to rules set by non-state systems.
Surprise! They're trying to make feudal / monarchy systems. Welcome to bring peasants again, fellow peasants.
The underlying foundation of conservative thoughts was, and is, to uphold a hierarchy that supports a monarchy. It has been from day 1. The American Revolution was a war against conservatism.
