Stoplight money could have gone to the bridge budget. (Not a mayoral candidate or European equivalent)
Good
Ok, but I would not cross those bottomless pits across those wooden planks.
Do you realize streets are this wide because of cars? Take a look at the oldest streets on any city, medieval era streets, they are all narrow and dark. The space for pedestrian is basically the same.
So thanks cars, at least with them we have streets with more sun light.
Thanks for reposting it, I was searching for this.
Oh gosh. I remember seeing this back in school in the day. I remember being impressed with the concept it conveyed. Great work.
I got hooked to Japan walking videos on YouTube and for the longest time I couldn’t tell why. I thought it was the architecture or the mixed zoning but after I heard it in another unrelated video it hit me: street parking is forbidden in Japan so even if there’s vehicle traffic in a street or even if the street is narrow, almost all the time the streets are for pedestrians or cyclers, you know, the actual public. For some reason not seeing the two rows of permanently parked cars occupying most of the urban space and blocking the view fills my heart with joy so much that I keep daydreaming about moving there.
I’d argue we’ve gained a lot more space due to cars
No subway then? It doesn’t go down.
CO2 propaganda again
But how much of our world do cars open up for the average person
Lol ever been to Rome? Sidewalk rules don’t apply in Italy
Well to be a prisoner of logic and not this joke about human perception… THERE ARE HUMANS IN CARS so we actually gave no space to cars except garage and parking places. Illustration is great but it’s not true.
You could do one that shows how much space has been given over to buildings
Oh it’s time to post this picture again? Must have been…a week since last time?
True, and it’s awful!
Cars are used by the public, whether it is in a direct manner or in a indirect one. Therefor, it is public space.
If you take a busy downtown area as a sample, of course. The drawing would be very different in the countryside or even a different part of the same city.
I swear this picture is reposted on this sub every other week and its getting annoying
This seems like a “I’m 14 and this is deep” picture. What’s the point here? If roads were indeed smaller (just for pedestrians/bicycles etc.), cities would just be smaller instead of more spread out. Either way, so what? This space is not “surrendered” to anything.
Did OP get lost? r/fuckcars is a different subreddit
I personally love cars, always have since I was a wee one. I love the history that Europe has developed very much because of the car. The Mille Miglia, the Nordschleife, Circuit de la Sarthe, plus the brilliant drivers and machines, rallycross, even Finnish Folk Racing. I love it all. Where would we be today without motorized transport? I won’t make an argument for better or worse cause there are plenty for both, but I personally think we’re better off with them than without them. EVs will negate much of the problem of emissions especially once they sort out how to manufacture them even cleaner and they don’t even make a noise, which is sad. I love engine vroom vroom noises lol. However people have voted with their feet and their wallets time and time again that broadly and with exceptions, people really like having the ability to go from point a to point b on their time, on their route, in their own vehicle. Thankfully, I’m a mechanic so I can keep driving the noisy ones long after you can’t buy them new anymore
And the problem is?
Let’s do a concept for how much space water in our body takes up
This propaganda piece again, its not even true,
Klaus Schwab propaganda
What about time before cars. Did we have medieval cities with wide streets? I don’t think so.
Life without a car would suck ass.
Well, city live because of the roads shipping in stuff and shipped out refuse. Enjoy the benefit that brings, and then complain about how it took up space.
Live in the country side if this is a big problem for you.
I bet he fucking owns a car…
Even if there where no privatly owed cars we still would need some space to drive around for Buses, Taxis, Delivery trucks, Emergency services, Construction vehicles, Trash collection, Contractors, Food delivery etc etc….
Unless someone invented a teleport device we need some space in cities for vehicles.
