Been living in this new place for a few months now and wow it’s crazy trying to find parking. My place has 8 apartments with 3 beds each so it’s pretty much a 24 person place. We only have a 12-spot parking lot so overflow has to parallel park on the street which is its own special kind of hell....
Personally it’s crossing the freeway where I live. My city has about 100,000 people but only six roads cross the freeway, with three more wayyy on the outskirts that are basically detours. There are also only a few pedestrian bridges that cross it, and zero pedestrian tunnels. The way our freeway works is it goes around...
Taking the blue line out of O’Hare airport and we are immediately being yanked around in every direction. Whereas in Tokyo, the curvature of the track and maximum speed inputted by the driver were linked....
What’s going on with remote work and cities? How are things changing?...
Sometimes I want to go out, but I don’t want to have to interact with people, and feel bad for ignoring them. Often I can’t even bring myself to open my front door because there are always people doing stuff in my apartment’s parking lot. I never feel able to get to know my neighbors because most of the time they are gone...
I get I'm posting this on Tuesday but I just remembered how annoying it is how everything is closed (or has limited hours) on Sunday. I have a new work schedule now but I used to have a schedule where Sunday was my only day off and it was so annoying because I couldn't actually do anything. I get lots of people in the US are...
I live in the UK and I drive an Astra. It's a four door hatchback style car from the late 00s, I bought it used and still runs fine even if it's getting on a bit. I know it won't last forever, so I'll probably buy another used car....
I know it sounds hypocritical but hear me out. My city's suburban streets were mostly built in the 1900s and 1910s, before cars were ubiquitous and before streets were built to accommodate them. So like 90% of the streets in the immediate suburbs (I'm talking 1 - 5 minutes from downtown) are either way too skinny to drive on or...

Just wondering how people here get around day-to-day....
I'm coming up on about 6 months of car-free life in Seattle. It's certainly been challenging at times, and it's only possible at all because I work from home, but I'm making it work. I'm curious if anyone else is trying to do the same thing. There are a ton of anti-car communities online, but very few people seem to actually go...
