It is a bit like when some chud from the US said that solar worked in places like Germany because of the weather, but wouldn't work in Texas.
Found the source, it was about the US in general, not just Texas.
I don't think many americans comprehend just how overcast Northern Europe is. Imagine half a continent that is less sunny than Seattle. Not even broaching the subject that the vast majority is in the summer, when the energy is needed the least.
When you realize that buses don't run all hours
i wonder why buses and public transport are so unsuitable for American cities.
“We’ll do a subscription model. You get reliable transportation anywhere at any time of day. Only $440 a month.”
“$440 a month? That’s crazy. Why would a train cost so much?”
“Oh, it would cost significantly less. That’s the average monthly cost of owning a car in the United States”
you could salt all those bike lanes alone just by rolling this doofus down the street
you could but local shit politics won't allocate the resources for clearing bike paths at 5cm of snow
If there are public transit issues you fix it by forcing people to invest massive amounts of their income into personal transport and because there are millions of other people like this even the network that is supposed to sustain personal transit is strained.
LA is know for its super short and reliable commute times via personal transit:funny-clown-hammer:
Shit, good point. People won't be able to go to their jobs at 3am in the LA snow...
What problem does he think he's solving for?
To be less facetious, the model share of 🚲🚲🚲 in Malmö is 25% and Malmö is more snowy than.... (this is where my mind defaulted to being facetious: more snowy than LA)
Bikes
don't runruns a little slower in snow, especially after it has been cleared.the most snow LA has ever gotten is two inches in January 1932. second place is 0.3 inches.
To be fair, the entire road-system is basically surface parking.
any snow in LA is a problem because nobody in LA knows how to drive in any snow
LA drivers can't handle rain. If it snowed the whole county would be shutdown.
guys if the glorious revolution ever comes I would like to be responsible for rounding everyone who defends cars and car infrastructure plz tia
Dang bro, why we all live right next to each other and then work on the opposite side of town? Seems like awful design to me
US Urban planning sounds so insane when you put it this way. Really a matter of one or two industries (Automotive and Energy) that fucked it up for the rest of us.
Woah woah woah, don't let housing developers and real estate off the hook.
That's one of the major things I feel like gets lost in the anti-car talk. If you can't afford a car/cannot drive you independence in the US plummets to zero. Can't drive to work, then you don't work for the vast majority of jobs. No car equals no job, no job equals no income, no income equals no "worth/value" in America. I hate it so much. You can't even get on the inductive step on the path to personal independence without a car in the US. It's such a trap.
