This happened where I live, as in the small businesses directly experienced increased business due to traffic calming as opposed to having to trust a study, but they convinced themselves it was something related to the pandemic and are still trying to get the traffic calming taken out.

Iâve appreciated your posts on here, youâre one of the clearer voices in what feels like a racket sometimes. I completely understand though, and I see what the comments on this site are like. I myself was ecstatic when I saw they finally implemented account deactivation. I hope you get a good break!

If youâre still on the other site, you could look up Dan Caroselli. He posts a lot of cool LA architecture and has posted specifically about LADWP buildings before (though Iâm not sure about the color).

Cameras are a âyes, andâ with better road design. Even if you have the political will for redesigning roads, it takes time and money. Cameras can save lives in the meantime.

Yes, I think the reason people get so mad they got caught is bc they werenât intending to speed or do anything reckless, but we put 6 lane roads through a neighborhood and set the limit at 35. You stop watching your speed closely, go with the flow of traffic, before you know it youâre going 45.

The city my sister lives in was recently rated poorly for summer tourism because of the airport and transit, and the local paperâs response was that itâs an easy drive from the major airport a couple hours away, just completely missing the point of why people on vacation might value good transit.

When talking about traffic calming, I so frequently find myself defending it from the perspective of a driver too. No right on red? Awesome, I donât want to have to pull out to see if anyoneâs coming, judge how fast theyâre going, feel pressure from people behind me, etc. Just let me wait for green!

Not in NYCâIn my 20s I used to move around every year like it was nothing. Then I had a couple long distance moves that were company sponsored where they come and pack all your stuff, no problem at all. But a couple years ago, late 30s, I did a local move on my own and I thought it might break me.

I remember my coworker complaining about Foundation because ânot everyone in the universe needs to be a black woman!â Only to find out that it was a mother and daughter. I guess he can more easily imagine a black woman having a white baby than there being two whole black women in that universe.

Once they started forcing not only ads but âsuggested postsâ into my feed (you used to be able to snooze the suggested ones) it become completely unusable, but then I realized if you go to the âfollowingâ feed, itâs only people you follow, no ads at all, AND in chronological order. Game changer.
