Why are trains better than buses? Bus rapid transit is super cost effective and can be quite metrolike

My understanding is that it goes entirely to public transit

In suburbs people might have neighbors at that distance and a car brain would drive to their neighbors house

What's wrong with it?

Why not bother them?

Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I'd suggest using the subscription feed

In us states with no tipped minimum wage (such as Oregon), we still tip 20%

Cars are faster, cover long distances which are just infeasible for bikes, are more comfortable, can be used in bad weather, and are needed for people with disabilities.

In many cases the long distances were created by cars. Cities worked fine before cars. But cars demand so much space that cities became spread out.

A solution to this problem is to repopulate city centers around the country by replacing parking lots with mixed use buildings.

In the US, we weigh ourselves in pounds. But nutritional information about food is in grams.

Imo, the fact that the numerator and denominator units are incompatible isn't a big deal since the message "eat .08% percent of your body weight in protein each day" is not the intuitive way to think about how much to eat. It's much easier to use a unit in the numerator that is common measuring nutrition and a unit in the denominator that is common for measuring body weight.

In lots of cities vacancy rates are too low making it hard to find housing

The electric interurban railways in America talks about the history of electric passenger trains that connected American cities particularly in the Midwest. Lots of fun maps of the networks and they describe how all the companies failed.

Thought it was written with a 1960s carbrain perspective, the information is interesting

A history of rock music in 500 songs is very good
