Aquí quiero hablar de música, libros, ciencia ficción, idiomas, bicicletas, transporte público, urbanismo y deportes (fútbol, béisbol, básquet y lo que surja), pero realmente soy periodista que investiga la desinformación. Toots en 🇨🇴🇮🇹🇺🇸🇷🇺💚
@nilloc @Tak Not only heavier vehicles are responsible for more road deaths and injuries, they also cause a disproportionate amount of damage to public infrastructure (they ruin roads just by using them), and they usually pollute more (if they use fuel). But we all will keep subsidizing all these damages until they’re taxed appropriately.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I have all of these in my neighborhood (except a sports arena, though I have one that’s 15 minutes away biking). Of course, I don’t live in the United States.
@AdamEatsAss @azimir you are correct. This vote is on out of town SUVs that are driven into Paris.
@Franzia @Facebones I have only driven three times in the past 13 years. It’s one of the benefits of having lived in cities where you don’t need a car to survive (Bogotá, Colombia; Genoa, Italy; and NYC). I wish your city can become like this soon, and you don’t have to drive ever again!
@psycho_driver @Masimatutu texting while driving. Assuming you have more rights just because you were in a car and running late. Sounds like the jackass was you.
@Miclux Oh wow, it’s almost if villages or small towns could be improved with better public transportation options and fewer cars. This is a great revelation, thank you for this chat.

@BorgDrone @pbrisgreat Unfortunately no. In the United States the pedestrian or cyclist can be at fault (I, thankfully, don’t live in the US but I lived there for a while and I noticed the laws are skewed towards cars).
@rm_dash_r_star @bumble you’re so close to getting the point, it’s a bit painful.

@HuddaBudda @silence7 Rio Grande do Sul also has a huge pumping system. If you get the same amount of rain as they got, you guys are just as fucked as them.
