Some idiots cut down speed cameras the people living there specifically asked for: YEAH! Fuck the police!!!1! Rage against the machine!!!1! Fuck mass surveillance!!!1!
Priorities , I guess.
Yes, more rails, and denser cities. „Walkable cities“ they’re called in the US, for me they’re just „normal cities“.
I live in one, right in the middle. I have, in walking distance, more than half a dozen supermarkets (not bodegas/delis/whatever, we have those on top), four pharmacies, two drugstores. I have two tramlines and a light rail in walking distance that can carry me all over town. When I want to have a drink I just take one of those. Or walk to my friends who live near.
When I do need a car (of course that happens) I rent one. That probably amounts to 14 d/y.

Yes. Yes I did. I took both pills, ground them up to very manageable pieces, took a straw and just very disciplined snorted everything up.
And then I asked for more pills.
in Marseille, trams have to frequently compete with pedestrians and bicycles that keep walking/riding on the tram line
Ugh, that is definitely annoying and dangerous. I used to live in Erfurt, Germany for a while. Quaint medieval old-town, huge cathedral, very popular with tourists, some major attraction happening roughly every weekend.
So they have that really narrow alley running from the cathedral to the central square where all the tourists and citizens are squeezing through, and yeah, lo and behold, they run a tram through it as well… 🤪
I gotta assume the majority of Germany’s ~30 tram deaths per year are drunken tourists in Erfurt.
There’s a direct comparison here: Birmingham is a small city
If you want to have a large city comparison, look at Berlin.
Berlin was divided after WW2 until 1989. West-Berlin, like most of West-Germany, removed all of their trams and replaced them for individual car use and buses. East-Berlin largely kept their trams.
The difference between trams and buses are huge. The „schedule“ of the major West-Berlin bus routes have become a running joke among Berliners: „You’ll wait and wait and suddenly there’s a herd of them!“. It’s bad. Really bad.
Trams are the reason I live in East-Berlin and would never, ever move to West-Berlin.
It’s definitely going to be very popular with some
crewsgroups…
Yes, because people in the US cannot be trusted to drive at safe speeds while the EU regulates 80/100 km/h with a trailer.
Ahahaha, tell me you’ve never left your country, probably not even your fucking state.
Yeah, all of Europe doesn’t know how to tow, and is „sketchy as fuck“. 🤡
This is perfectly legal and safe.
You know what’s sketchy as fuck? The US, which has 3 times more road deaths per capita than the EU.
Now go back to your wankpanzer, please.
“Completely” is a quantifier.
A quantifier of intensity not a quantifier of quantity. This is really not that hard.
you still haven’t supported your point from the original source
See, this is not how these things work. You’re the one who made a claim about the content of this article. I showed you you’re wrong. That is my point. End of story.
Can you point me to the quantifiers in your quotes or the article?
Maybe you should do something about your terrible reading comprehension: https://elt.oup.com/student/solutions/preint/grammar/grammar_03_012e
So, after I explained to you, several times, that nobody wants to rip out all roads, you continue to drone on about that. Yeah, I can see why you fall for right-wing nonsense.
Well, good luck, and have fun barking up all the fantasy trees in your mind! 👋
PS: you totally should visit Seoul or/and Utrecht sometime. You know, might broaden your horizon a bit.
Yeah, I can help you with that: “removing roads completely” does not specify how many roads are to be removed, only that the ones being removed are removed completely, as opposed to partially.
“Removing all roads” on the other hand means removing all roads, as opposed to, e.g., some, or many.
There, that was easy, wasn’t it?
I mean, nobody is going to read it anyway now. Might as well just write it tomorrow morning and send it then. Here’s what I’ll do, I go to bed early tonight, get up extra early tomorrow, and then I’ll do it!
