Cries in additional Hamburg-Hanover track 😭

That was a delightfully insightful comment, thanks a lot 🤩

So? Are you complaining that

• your house is poorly insulated or
• that you are in a bad place financially or
• that Australia’s energy mix is not sustainable enough or
• that you cannot afford a heat pump for efficient heating?

Or is it something else?

Yes, yes it does.

But this is something people can halve without lowering their standard of living, while simultaneously helping with weight control and general health.

I really don’t think that you should feel bad about this personally :)

What’s not democratic, that’s how important your personal wealth is for financing your election campaign in the US. And personal wealth tends to accumulate as a person ages. Other countries have laws in place to mitigate this problem and allow for an even democratic battleground for the non-rich.

Isn’t there an age limit in the other direction, too?

Isn’t the point of a 15 minute city that you can get anywhere within 15 minutes without a car?

(By the way, from a European standpoint it sounds really funny that 15 minute cities are not a reality for you. Like, why would you ever build a city differently in the first place?)

Most projects nowadays use auto formatting tools for convenience. Any python auto formatting tool will automatically convert tabs to spaces. Tabs are a no no in python, as their rendering might depend on the settings of the IDE. Spaces are nice and constant.

On lemmy, is there some other place which is better suited for those people? (other than the German !oeffentlicherverkehr@feddit.de)

What kind of argument is this? Mostly pedestrian, public transport and bicycle based cities still have utility trucks and vans which you can use when you really need to. It’s a pain to navigate the city and the parking fees are high, but it’s something you would totally accept to for moving homes.

You can try googling “How to move homes in Amsterdam” and see whether people there manage to move homes.

TLDR: It’s not black and white, nobody wants to prohibit EVERY SINGLE MOTORIZED VEHICLE FOR EVERY SINGLE USECASE.

You are forced to take your bicycle far more often. No excuses. You cannot just take the car whenever you feel lazy, tired or if the weather is mediocre. Your health will benefit from this a lot.

There are workarounds to get cobblestone streets to work. In Groningen, Netherlands, I’ve seen cozy cobblestone streets which had a 50cm (1½ feet?) wide and very even brick strip in the center for bicycles. Looks and works great and it is an easy retrofit for historic cobblestone.

It’s brand new and few weird votes can scew the whole. It’s only going to improve :)
