It’s actually still doable, but requires some creative thinking to undo the damage done for half century. Train can carry people from suburb into the city, the last mile can be solved either by brt, tram, or by micromobility. Bus, tram, and bicycle need their own dedicated lane for this to work nicely. This won’t necessarily prevent people from driving but it will make driving not the only way to go to work.
Places that were developed around the automobile and climate contril are very difficult to convert.
Iirc Amsterdam is basically that, it used to be car-centric but the government take away that monopoly and give it back to bicycle and micro-mobile. Paris is another recent example on how bicycle usage is rising if given the proper safety infrastructure to ride around. It’s also a car-centric city before this.
It’s not that it’s hard, it’s just lack of political will and dinosaur way of thinking. It’s something that never crossed their mind.
Cities design around walking is technically harder because the space limitation if they want to share it with car, but tend to have everything in close proximity, which in that case it’s far easier to just ban car from entering and cater the street to just pedestrian and bicycle/non-electric scooter. Cities design around car however, is easier to convert, as they tend to have wider road and more lane for car. They just need to take away one lane and give it to cyclist and that’s it. The only hard part is going through the legislation and carbrain.
If that isn’t your intention, then i’m sorry, but i’m not the only one getting the same vibe, and i genuinely not sure why you bring out extreme condition where other mode of transport doesn’t work either.
The first step and the mindset is already wrong, focusing on moving traffic instead of removing traffic. So yeah, of course it wouldn’t work. Houston failed at it doesn’t mean other city would fail too.
People can’t travel 30 miles from their home to the office entirely using public transit.
Does ALL Americans travel 30 miles for work?
Walkable cities and light rail are Last-mile. Heck - throw in high-speed for the majority of the transit and you still have a huge first-mile problem, which is by far the hardest to solve.
The reasons modern cities are designed around cars is because cars are flexible.
So does all those micromobile.
Add a street for a new row of houses and every single one of those points is connected to every end point in a single step. No new scheduling, routing, or transit lines required
That’s what called lazy design, and that’s why american and all the people from car dependent city are so miserable about their daily commuting.
Problem solved with a little asphalt.
Our definition of “little” might be a bit different.
It’s an easy solution
And a costly one. Maintaining road for car is far more expensive than for public transport because of the amount of people each mode of transport carry.
backing out of it is very, very difficult
It’s difficult because it’s written into stupid law by stupid politician. That’s what i called lacking political will.
because it must be replaced with a complicated, expensive solution that’s less-convenient for most users.
It’s not even about replacing one for another, it’s about providing a good, viable option, and not a half done one then call it a day, to people who want to use such infrastructure.
I’m not anti-transit at all, but people around here seem to believe that a city can be fixed with the power of wishes and fairy dust just because another city that covers 1/10th the area and was developed hundreds of years before auto-centric decelopment ago managed to do it.
Nobody think that, that’s just strawman argument. You know why people around here don’t take you seriously? Because you never pay attention to what their stand are. There’s a reason carbrain is a popular term with urbanist/pro-strong town because car people just can’t seems to wrap their head around on the concept of giving people the option for viable alternative transport. Literally every car brain i met seems to believe everyone is living on some edge case hence car should be the only transport, they never seems to think edge case is just that, edge case.
The issue with DNF is there’s issue with its development, so arriving early or late, shit is going to be shit no matter how polished it is.
The issue that Haunted Chocolatier might find itself in is, when people waited for too long, the expectation of how good it is will be all over the place, or the hype is lackluster when people moved on after waited for too long. Though i genuinely doubt any of that will happen, he seems to really know how to communicate with the fans, so the hype might be “just right”.

I’m raised in an era full of ads, from tv to radio to cinema to street, and i still have absolutely no patient for ads. Streaming and sailin really helps with cutting unnecessary time spend in ads. On the other hand my nephew and niece wouldn’t mind the ads.
My time it’s like 20min shows, 10min ads. At least shows back then make use of this structure, these day ads on stream/youtube just shows up like spanish inquisition.
I think class divide surely exists, but from my experience, it’s really about whether people are bothered by it. For me i based my living on ad-free mindset so i set my priorities on getting rid of ads and focus a bit more on privacy. My siblings and friends on the other hand, don’t mind any of those, so they continue using reddit/facebook and youtube(with ads), all with pay grade higher than me.

And i haven’t seen a crash from someone launching themselves straight over the center in months.
I never heard of that sort of case short from DUI, which shouldn’t be include in any accident statistic other than DUI. They’re really magical people that will make all sort of edge case happen.
But yes, love roundabout, it’s a really good way to make traffic flow smoother on a lot of junction, though the downside is you can’t have a traffic light near it. Traffic light is always the bottleneck of every jam in my city
I’m in my 30s and i just find it funny. It’s funny because it’s random as heck, just like dragon dream feet or free bird or engineer nope. The reason people dissing it is really just because they don’t want to be associated with kids.
Nah bro if it’s the choice between raising insurance cost vs killing people + jail time for manslaughter + eating the guilt for the rest of my life, i’ll take the insurance.

If the studios didn’t get sold to the larger entities, said large entities couldn’t had closed them. Why is no one talking about the topic of game studios being sold out to begin with?...
Making game is extremely risky gamble. Sometime studio can spend years working on one game and it might result in subpar sales due to element that’s not in their control, like Spec Ops: The Line. Take Obsidian Entertainment for example, over the year we kept hearing how they’re financially struggling despite created some of the best RPG, and Microsoft acquisition suppose to free them from this issue to some degree. Same with Tango Gameswork. Zenimax and to some extend Mojang is different case though.
Lot of game studio open and close, if Tango doesn’t sold to Bethesda and in turn to Microsoft, it might already closed. Though on the flip side it also mean they’re at the mercy of their parent company, it still undeniable that Microsoft is the one killed them in this case.

It’s the reason why Shinji Mikami quit i think, dude just wanna make small non-spoopy game while training the next generation of game dev.
With them axing that many studio and focusing on “high-impact” title, whatever that mean to them, m$ basically squeeze themselves dry without 1st party game to support their console and their own store.
