These U.S. Cities Have More Parking Lots Than Housing - They paved paradise again and again and again.
by Frank Jacobs, Big Think May 17, 2024

"...On average, about one-fifth of all land in city centers is dedicated to parking. But what’s the actual harm being done by all that parking space? For one, city centers that are more “parkable” become less walkable. In other words, fewer things are casually accessible.

...Americans’ attitude toward driving is changing. The share of high school seniors with a driving license has dropped from 85.3% in 1996 to 71.5% in 2015. The rise of shared, multi-modal, and (soon, they keep promising us) autonomous mobility will further reduce the need for driver’s licenses, individual cars, and massive parking facilities in city centers.

Perhaps it’s time for American cities to become denser, more lived-in, more walkable—and less “parkable.”

ai6yr,

@shekinahcancook @terryb Also, the age group of most churches now is heavily older-than-65, and the demographics there are strongly "this is our great grandchildren's problem, there's no climate crisis yet"

ai6yr,

@shekinahcancook @terryb This was 15 years ago, and with the increasing divide in the US in terms of politics, probably even less likely now (the co-opting of religion/Christianity by the right has practical impacts on things like "should we put solar panels on our church, even if they are nearly free")

ai6yr,

@terryb @shekinahcancook I had proposed solar panels at a church I was attending, which had near 100% subsidies, and they did not have ANY interest.

ai6yr,

@shekinahcancook Unless you walk or bicycle a lot, you don't realize HOW MUCH of towns is really streets + parking + stores dedicated to cars... It's stunning.

ai6yr, to tea

My preferred cheap black tea. Oddly, only found at local Indian markets, and produced here by Unilever Canada.

ai6yr,

@rustoleumlove $10.99 for 900g here

ai6yr,

@rustoleumlove Yes, this is a bulk loose leaf pack, I never use tea bags (too much packaging, plus microplastics)

ai6yr,

**Apparently a UK brand purchased by Lipton at some point.

For those who haven't been following closely, reported that the death of someone blown off the road in a tornado was a storm chaser, however, local officials have confirmed it is a local resident (see following post) #IAwx #stormchasing #wx #fatality #tornado https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/weather/2024/05/21/iowa-national-weather-service-severe-weather-outlook-des-moines-readar/73783200007/

ai6yr,

@jberry Well, the chasers don't have a great reputation for traffic safety, etc.... I think the many non-professionals chasing have gotten a bad reputation as thrill seekers more than helping anything (which may be true)

The current SCOTUS continues to do what they’ve been doing since Dobbs. They make one decision that is pretty middle of the road “yep, that’s the right call”, and then the next five or six big decisions are all deeply unpopular, and wildly partisan. They think people don’t see the systematic erosion of democracy, separation of church and state, and equality. They are so fucking removed from actual society that they think this will all blow over.

ai6yr,

@mcnado Yep, SCOTUS has been captured :-(

ai6yr,

Oh look, FITBIT FOR COWS

"An early indication that something had gone awry on farms in northwestern Texas came from devices hitched to collars on dairy cows. Turley describes them as “an advanced fitness tracker.” They collect a stream of data, such as a cow’s temperature, its milk quality, and the progress of its digestion — or, rather, rumination — within its four-chambered stomach."

WaPo: This hurricane season could be among the worst in decades, NOAA warns
