Never trust an American road engineer. They’re the ones that ruined our cities

Hell yes. Already in their email list. I second this recommendation for anyone interested in urban and transportation issues or even if you’re just interested in the financial sustainability of local governments. They focus a lot on the financial side

Let’s just spend another half million on a slogan to encourage safe driving like “Richmond Real Safe” or whatever

Agreed. The most important step is to make walking that mile safe and comfortable and making driving/parking less convenient

That’s dumb. Just mow and leave the weeds alone. Dandelions and clovers are underrated

Their videos are too depressing for me. The amount of work we need to do to fix American development patterns is so overwhelming lol
I’d rather just go shit post on r/FuckCars while someone smarter and more patient than me puts in the actual effort to change things

Idk about on city streets, but rumble strips have saved my life several times on the highway. I had a long commute for a while a few years ago and would regularly struggle with staying awake. A few times I drifted off and was alerted by those strips.
Literal life saving infrastructure

Just a lack of political will, and a culture that prioritizes car drivers over all other road users

They should also bump out those rounded curbs to slow down turning cars. Fast turns are a major threat to pedestrians

I just looked at Zillow out of curiosity. There are quite of few homes under 300 near Reedy Creek and the surrounding areas, but no garages

Just fyi, the federal tax credit for solar was raised to 30% until 2033 by the Inflation Reduction Act

It’s also kind of incorrect since urban NIMBYs tend to be upper class whites

It brings all the downsides of dense development and none of the upsides!

Oh great, more car dependent sprawl. Just because it brings density, doesn’t mean it’s the right kind of density

I wonder how they’ll do. Turns out it’s more expensive to grow indoors

You could always volunteer. There are a couple of conservation oriented groups here where you could help in planting natives trees, removing invasives, testing the water quality of the river, or otherwise restoring habitat

They’re invasive and I agree…, but only if there are concrete plans to replace them with something native.
I do have to admit they’re gorgeous trees in bloom and I wouldn’t want to see that area treeless
