Tbh, a walkable city would also make for nice driving because it would alleviate congestion
Honestly at this point I want to live somewhere that’s actively hostile to cars
If you can afford it, downtown Vancouver, BC is hostile to cars.
Parking surcharges (that specifically fund transit), just a few bridges and a couple main roads in and out of downtown.
Downtown eastside you got homeless people that give no shits and will cross the road whenever and block cars.
Downtown westside and all around downtown you have bike lanes, lots of people on bikes and many streets that you can't continue straight unless you are on a bicycle.
Central downtown has a transit mall that only buses, taxis and local deliveries can use.
Most of all you have a Costco that you can get to easier by transit, bike or walking than you can by car.
damn, a walkable Costco is impressive. Even the Costco in Stockholm is car only.
damn yall out here driving cars in stores
stockholm has a costco lmao? how do they manage to compete with the existing dollarstore and eko stormarknad?
adds twelve lanes to my stroad
One guy needs to move from the far left entrance-lane to the far right exit-lane
Causes a sixteen car pileup
Traffic clogged for miles
This happens a minimum of three days a week
Guys, cars are just more convenient, you just don't understand how to take civil engineering seriously.
You can see this in the netherlands. Barely any cars on the road compared to germany. I sometimes need to deliver items there for work and it's so much nicer to drive there. Also you are always punctual because traffic is so predictable.
needs more trees
Seriously! It's currently 100 degrees in my city. Walking down the neighborhood blocks with tree coverage makes such a difference.
100 degrees in my city.
It's boiling hot. Literally. How?
fahrenheit?
Ah. Imperialism.
Good public transportation, bike lanes, and all with walkability in mind, I wish
if your in the states chicago has that. City is on a grid system and up to two transfers between bus and trains are free not to mention the fare itself is very reasonable https://www.transitchicago.com/fares/ also bike lanes abound now. You would be hard pressed to find a major street without at least the lines and most expansion now is about protected lanes.
As a person with shit balance I’m rooting for tricycle Pepe.
This is quite literally what a large stretch of the Ohlone Greenway looks like from Richmond through El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, down to Oakland looks like.
Where the tents :(
Pepe is dead. His creator killed him because of all the far right memes he was used in.
Just stop.
fuck the far right they can't take pepe from us. Don't let them walk all over you
Pepe is like water. Everyone drinks water.
Everyone drinking water has died. Coincide? I think not.
Pepe is evil. Don't drink Pepe.
i did not know walkable cities was a far right movement. wow. you learn something new everyday i guess
Man the whole "pepe is right wing" thing was huge like 4 years ago, now I literally only ever see it mentioned by people like you. It's a drawing of a frog, if you don't like it then hide the post.
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
If the creator "killed him", then why are there official plushies being sold? The description even denounces the right wing coop of the meme. There's even a documentary explaining the retaking of the meme.

i really wish my city had a lot of bike lanes
Well, I can tell you as someone who lives in one that does: cops and other assholes park all over the bike lanes constantly, and idiots walk all over it without looking. So…I’m all for them. But we have to eliminate cops and cars and other idiocy for them to workike they should.
You can read all about it in my upcoming NYT bestseller, Cops and Other Idiots: A Biker’s Guide to Pretending You Didn’t Mean To Run Over That Cop (And Those Other Assholes!)
you wish your city had a lot of bike PATHS, it drives me mad that everyone keeps using the term "bike lane" because that very specifically means just painting a line on the road which is TERRIBLE.
If every bike lane was replaced with a wide sidewalk for both bicycles and pedestrians america would actually be a halfway okay place to live in, that's the standard here in sweden and while it's obviously not optimal, it means you can reliably bike just about everywhere and people with wheelchairs or mobility scooters don't have to worry about having infrastructure available to safely get around.
Even if we don't end up winning the Euro football championship, 🇳🇱 is the walkability winner.
I recently came across this enthusiastic in-depth analysis of a completely unknown and (to us) normal train station somewhere in the province. No sports event will ever make me feel as patriotic as this video.
Aww hell yes
My city is basically made for transformers, very little you can do walking
This is what I dream of for my city and I drive for a living. Get these 70 square feet of individual morons who don't need to be on the road out of my way.
Given that you drive for living, you probably drive truck or bus or taxi. Makes sense. Using huge steel brick to transport 1.2 people on average is such idiocy.
Parking deez nuts
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
