Public bathrooms are actually one of the few things that US cities are undeniably better at than European cities. You almost always have to pay in Europe and even paid ones can be …

Yes but their job is literally to manipulate you into buying a car then and there. They play all sorts of dirty tricks to get there.

Nobody is arguing against car usage in the country side. People are arguing against car dependency in cities and suburbs.

+1 in my experience most people that criticize scrum simply have a bad experience with a half baked implementation of scrum. If it's implemented well it's fantastic. You get to foc…

Have you ever used said MacBook intensively with OSX? I guarantee you the difference in trackpad performance will be mind boggling and frustrating. Literally the only thing keeping…

In terms of dollar value, not in terms of volume. Still very impressive though for such a small country.

Roads are absolutely not financed by gasoline taxes. They are massively subsidized by the federal government. Watch some videos about Strong Towns to learn about the problems that …

Sure a 15 minute city means there will be some areas you won't be able to drive to anymore. So what? You'd be able to walk to them in <15 min. Nobody is going to stop people from d…

Well it seems you're criticizing Americans' rosy view of Dutch public infrastructure without realizing how absurd the US is in terms of infrastructure. I challenge you to visit the…

Yup this is basically how I was taught by my instructor in the Netherlands

Yes and we need to end the weapons race of ever increasing car sizes. It makes accidents much more deadly, uses much more energy to move people and takes up unnecessarily large amo…

If there's that much traffic, a four way stop will be even worse than a roundabout. You'll need a turbo roundabout, traffic lights or grade separated intersections in that case. Fo…

I had to scroll way to far to find this comment. We need to drastically reduce the number of parking lots and revert the car dependency built into our cities.
