How To Fix A Suburb.

How to fix a suburb.

Step 1) build a transit line to a central location within it, one that people can walk to and from easily

Step 2) implement densification policies around the transit stop, such as infill housing, ADUs and low-rise apartments.

Step 3) allow for small businesses to open via mixed use construction, yard shops, and additional infill

They're just salty I decided to get forcibly rendered into a soup-like homogenate by the rusted-out buick skylark down the block instead.

yes i go out of my way to drive safely around bicyclists, no i dont care about their human lives, i know the fucking perverts are desperately slavering to be slammed and crushed by the beautiful steel of an automobile, trembling and hot with death-drive that only the merciless fenders of my foreverially dealerplated altima can answer, and i simply refuse to give them release.

It's not the heat that gets you, it's the burning fury of knowing that something could be done about it, but the systems of power that govern us choose self destruction instead

There's also the fourth gender of the conductor in striped overalls and hat, comin' 'round the bend, seeing the commotion off in the distance and blowing the horn, face aghast as the plight of the TiedToTheTracksGender person suddenly dawns on them, frantically pulling levers as the brake blocks clamp down, waste steam diverts from the cylinders, but the train is too heavy, the wheels don't have enough traction, there's not enough time, there's not enough time, there's not enought, ime there'sno tenougtimethere'snotenou

me and my friends joke that there are 3 genders, being tied to train tracks, tying someone to train tracks, and freeing someone from the train tracks, and i really want to know @amtrak-official’s take on this

The tragic thing is that we used to have a lot of this. There was a time when almost every significant American city was connected on a national grid of passenger rail, with interurban rail lines for commuters, and streetcar lines within the cities. It's all been ripped up and paved over.

Not to be controversial B U T. I think 3rd/2nd shift public buses should be a thing. If you work the graveyard or a 2nd shift with weird hours you deserve to be able to get home regardless if you have a car or not.

I also think that there needs to be (a) bus line(s) to and from the cities to the rural areas. Yes this also means “rural” as in those ‘southern gothic aesthetic’ rural areas.

People should not have to be locked in the cities or in rural areas, they should have the freedom to be able to move around. If you’re low income, older, disabled, or can’t afford a car (bc it’s car + insurance + gas $$) then you’re kind of stuck where you’re at and this is coming from real life experience.
