Genuinely curious, what service are you comparing this to that makes it sound quite expensive? Asking for my wallet

Like ballpoint pen ink

Xcrete was right there, just saying

Enshittification is coming for absolutely everything.

Start a social media account for pics of the pothole. Keep tagging city officials in it. Call or email someone every time you’re reminded that the pothole exists so they will be too. Make the city rue the day they gave Cave Johnson lem… Potholes.

Idk probably the people being disproportionately bombed and killed right now? Why do zionists always try to make Israel into some sort of state full of victims while they’re the more powerful?

Option #4: Organize with your coworkers and form a union and collectively bargain for higher wages and better benefits.

You could always sell it at a low enough price to break even and just refuse to sell it to anyone besides someone who plans on actually living in it. You’re allowed to do that. Real estate agent might look at you like you’re crazy, but fuck em. It’s your house right now.

The workers are the union and the union only works if the workers participate. You should encourage your partner to get with her coworkers and put some pressure on whoever is in leadership to get contract negotiations started. It all starts with a conversation with her coworkers.

You can want fast food to go out of business while also wishing the workers there a very happy pay raise until then.

Except it’s a job not an innate, unchangeable characteristic… I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

Note the picture says “urban”, not rural neighborhoods. There’s no reason to think we can’t have train infrastructure connecting to rural areas though. The point would be to make our infrastructure human centered and supplement it with appropriate public transportation based on density. It can be done by rethinking how we zone and getting away from designing everything with cars and space for cars in mind. Not saying we do away with cars because they definitely serve a purpose the way we have things now, but gradually build up the non-car infrastructure so that cars are less needed over time. If we can imagine it in a way that works, we can accomplish it.

I wish lol. I just got here a few days ago, so I’m still trying to discover them.

I think the goal is to have public transport (where needed) to improve quality of life and to design cities/towns for people rather than cars. 15 minute cities, accessibility, walking paths, bike paths, etc. and public transport would be supplementary or for longer distances. There are some really good YouTube channels about urban design like Not Just Bikes and City Beautiful to name a couple that have some really great vids on the topic.
