This is bad for freeways, right?

Hear me out — single SLIDE buildings.

Not at all.

Just saying he looks healthier on death's doorstep than he does today 🤞

Damn, he looks relatively good there.

Price EVERY car trip.

That’s why I can’t have a TED Talk. There’s not enough to say (and also nearly all the gatekeepers have car brain).

Yes. Its honestly insane to focus so much on potential MODELED vmt and not spend every waking breath fighting to price EVERY CAR TRIP.

Just another reason to hate cars.

How Ottawa Abolished Its Parking Mandates - Parking Reform Network Parking reform in a big city is rarely a single dramatic moment; it’s a long campaign fought on multiple fronts. Ottawa just proved that it’s worth the fight.

A pretty good summary here about Ottawa City Council's recent approval of the new zoning by-law. "How Ottawa Abolished Its Parking Mandates"

Exactly.

Well some of it anyway. Please don’t build the parking garage.

Should we also raid and shutdown Wunderland?

I think if rocks or bottles are falling from the sky we have bigger fish to fry.

On the topic of annoying things that should be abolished/fixed, did you know city code currently allows Tesla to install as many super charger stations as it wants in any existing parking lot and no one can stop them?

I wish so much that this was true that I looked it up.

Just as an aside. I’m in a place with bad internet and bluesky video loads better than photos. What’s up with that?

What part isn’t the Nazi part?

Nice! I hope you enjoy it!

It’s worth noting that Costco and WinCo, the cheapest options, almost certainly require access to a car to be practical options (or you pay more for delivery from instacart).

Amazon Fresh is about as cheap as WinCo?

Honestly it’s not even the worst idea I’ve heard for spending climate justice money (that goes to an idea to build parking garages by a recently announced candidate).

To be clear, it's the low frequency sound that's travelling.

Nope, I think Teslas just have really shitty insulation. There are too many for this to be custom. Some might be, but definitely not all of them.

Most of the noise I hear from cars nowadays is from the stereo.

Anyone in Portland with a Tesla that can help me figure out what level on the stereo volume is the threshold for hearing it in my house from the parking lot across the street?

Is there something about the physical construction of a Tesla that makes it resonate?

Or are the drivers just oblivious/assholes trying to go deaf?

Both?

Yes, I recognize how cosmically funny it is that Portland allowed a Tesla supercharger "gas" station to be installed in a BAR parking lot across the street from my house.

I did not anticipate the worst part would be the loud bass emanating from Nazi shitboxes.

I read this at 3:28 am after waking up to bass from someone charging their car at the Tesla “gas” station near my home.

Fuck cars. Fuck all cars.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

I don’t agree with your premise.
