Was not one a convicted criminal? Wondering when the jail time kicks in though?

Yup with inflation the $60 would be somewhere between $80-85 dollars equivalent in buying power.
So its technically cheaper. $60 today is $40-45, 14 years ago.
Was the tittle not “Groundhog Day Reloaded”?
“When cities are designed with mostly drivers in mind, they tend to be built for commuters and not residents, making them less attractive to live in or even visit outside of work.”
Cities need to be designed for the people and families that live there. Not people driving in from the suburbs.
Also, I wonder if NewYork will ever consider doing what Amsterdam did (in the 1970~1980) to combat its traffic issues (caused by car), and only allow pedestrian/cycaling traffic.
Walkable as is in “enjoyably” walkable. Walking across a Walmart parking lot across a 6 lane road, and then to across another large carpark of nothingness to maybe a bus stop, all the while trying to not get hit by a car is not a classification of a walkable city.

Totally agree, our cars are too huge IMO, no need for it TBH. Its always great to travel the world (if you can). Nice to see the different ways people live.
I personally saw almost all these models in Amsterdam and Belgium this year. They are pretty great addition to existing solutions like trams, metros, busses, and cycling.
No reason to need to have a 4 seat car when most of the time you may be the only person in the vehicle. Would be cool if we could find these in North America more easily. I do find our personal vehicles are becoming too large causing more sprawl and larger parking lots, which in turn nesesitates car dependency when everything is so far apart because of our vehicle infrastructure.
ie. When was the last time you walked across a Wallmart parking lot plaza to go to the store on the other side? Its usually quicker (and safer) to drive…
Soon we will all be plastic. Its already in our food and water.
What i really think about is these are only the effects so far from the plastics that have started to break down from when plastics were created (smaller quantities). What happens when the plastics of today start to break down (larger quantities).
Kind of like the effects of oil (air pollution) being felt 30-50 years down the line.
Seeing things like this where the public is asked for help in identifying their own friends and family, or community members, reminds me of something very similar.
From Berlin! Every end of the month.
I have tested both lingding and linkwarden. Lingding was easy to use and did the basics in bookmark management. Though I settled on linkwarden for its saving of webpages in different formats with folder and subfolder organisation in the UI.
Both are good options, but linkwarden seem to be more power user focused.
I just realised iTunes (store) is no longer a thing. Everything’s just streaming now.
Time to bust out the walkman
But I don’t want to buy all new hardware! Thought MS was sustainable. Instead MS is BS.
Prime location, good bones.
True, the article may be old news, so here is an article celebrating the success of the same location after the last 10 years.
Wish more cities would take note and move away from car centric urban and suburban design.
New fave sub!
Examples like these show its never to late to shift a city from a “car centric” design to a pedestrian focused design, with bus, tram, light rail, or subway routes.
Cities should be designed for people first, as opposed to cars first.
Pedestrian cities are also in a way cheaper in terms cost & mantinace of infrastructure, such as less traffic lights to maintain. Traffic lights are by far the biggest money sink for a financially struggling city, not to mention large parking lots that provides no return on investment.
Got to keep us buying more somehow…
