[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is utterly depressing to watch “not just bikes”…-an urban planning YouTube channel made by a Canadian who moved to Amsterdam.

It’s highly detailed and there is no reason why dc cant be more like this…

There needs to be a complete re-thinking in how the city is planned.

Utrecht, Amsterdam, delft, den Haag have amazing QoL and urban design.[/quote]

There was nothing depressing about watching that video. It's a standard suburban lament from someone who doesn't like the suburban lifestyle that other people prefer. Good for him there is choice and he found a place he likes.[/quote]

I am fine if you want suburban lifestyle- just keep it out of the city.  I live in DC and VA and MD drivers are always speeding through my neighborhood on thier way to work, etc.  Your decision to drive everywhere and live in the suburbs should not affect those in the city who have different priorities than you.  I see nothing wrong with people advocating that the cities they live in become more bike/ pedestrian/ transport friendly[/quote]

Suburban drivers are literal psychopaths who fly into a rage and start foaming at the mouth if you suggest they should have a slightly less convenient commute so they don’t murder children in crosswalks. There’s no use trying to reason with them, they can’t or won’t understand how their attachment to their car has utterly robbed them of any humanity. Direct your anger at the people who can actually do something about this, DDOT and our worthless mayor.[/quote]
