Mullvad time

Always a good day to pick Castle Crashers back up

They are indeed less polluting, but not nearly as much as just getting around without driving. A comprehensive network of regional/national trains and local transit combined with safe cycling infrastructure and low through traffic areas are so much less polluting that it makes the difference between gas and electric cars look like a rounding error.

I agree, if you’re going to get a car it’s great for folks to get electric cars. My point is that they are not even remotely the silver bullet people think they are, and allowing that thinking to persist is killing us. We need viable alternatives to driving, and we need them 30 years ago.

Have you seen any of the mixed use suburb development concepts? I think they’re really cool, basically a whole block that has a wide range of housing options and amenities all self contained from single family to apartments

Replacing gas powered cars with electric ones because they’re “less polluting”. Sure, they produce no gaseous emissions, but they make up a lot of that difference with increased tire particulates, road wear, and general pollution from the raw materials required. Don’t even get me started on self driving cars.

What we should really be doing is building and enabling as many viable alternatives to driving as possible. Intercity buses and trains, frequent intracity bus service with wide service areas, bike lanes, deconstructing highways going through city centers, etc. Cars have a place in our society, but we’ve made them the only viable way to get around and it’s killing us.

Sounds like you need Jujutsu 🥰
