is anyone else annoyed that china is designing too many carcentric cities. i watch driving/walking videos from around the world and to my surprise i found a shitload of cities in china not just shanghai that are full of 6 lane STROADS. i wish they would design cities centered around WALKING/CYLCLING, not driving. i made a list and every single video here is a different city and there are even more videos and cities but i got tired of timestamping all the 6 lane STROADS. and if you don't know what stroads are, feel free to ask. i'll also explain why they should stop building carcentric cities if you want

and remember, owning a car means wasting thousands of dollars on a car, gas, maintanance, parking fees, toll roads, traffic tickets, insurance, etc. not to mention your ability to drive a car is regulated by government beaurecrats and you must pay for a licence (and renewals).

also in america, even some conservative mayors are tryng to make their cities more walkable. remember, it's a myth that walkability isn't popular with conservatives

Or because people dont want to waste money. Ofcourse a gypsy is proud to show off bling bling expensive stuff but stealing copper from train tracks to have ends meet.

Yes but the vast majority of people value their time outside of work more than their time at work.
My car costs me about 1/shift a month to operate and insure.
It saves me over 20 hours commuting and running errands versus public transit per month. Also and I can buy items in bulk which saves me even more time and money.

You don't have real bike lanes though. You have the laziest possible shitty solution for people who get high sniffing their own farts to pat themselves and each other on the back, and for whoever gets the contract for road paint to increase revenues.
>>
>>472878966
Its so fucking retarded, just make a seperated bike lane with concrete seperator it is so easy. And if cars and bikes do mix it should be a 30km/h limit
>>
>>472878966
and on the busiest streets that are the least accomodating for bikes, too.
our main street is chock full of traffic, parked cars, pedestrians. a single block in either direction and the congestion is reduced by 75%.

I flat out don't get bikefags that insist on being near moving cars as much as possible. I stick to alleys, side streets, etc. without a fucking problem. I'm not wasting time taking these alternative routes because said routes don't require me to stop at busy intersections like i would have taking the "fast" "direct" route.
>>
>>472879050
And i bought my bike 9 years ago for a hour of work. It carries whatever i want how i want. I had yet to pay a dime, and even if it brakes i can have a new one next week for 30$. Sure you can hope that the sea rises, but it will be manlets like you who drown first

It's not that we don't want walkable or bikabke cities- it's just that they don't work here.
