I figured until we figure out an automatic option, a weekly thread is probably ok, especially since Lemmy does a great job at bringing threads back up to the top if they get comments....
Hey man, that's fair. One of my answers is to go back in time to see the first ever concert just to see what it was like, people may not have even been standing for that one for all I know!
I'm a big pro-biking kind of person. I've lived in LA for almost twelve years now and haven't owned a car the entire time. I wouldn't go quite as far as calling myself anti-car, but I'm absolutely anti-car-brain and think we should be working to make LA as pedestrian-and bike-friendly as we possibly can.
One part of car culture I despise, though, is the recent trend towards super heavy duty double lifted megatrucks that are larger than tanks were in WWII and burn more fuel than God. Sure, there are some places where that kind of vehicle is practical or maybe even necessary, but LA is not one of them.
I work at a parking garage where the vertical clearance is 6'4", and my way to flip those guys a subtle bird is to sell them a parking pass then just let em drive right past and figure out for themselves that they won't fit
DTLA and its surrounding neighborhoods. People always say that you can't live here without a car, but I moved here from somewhere very rural, where the nearest grocery store was ten miles down a road with no sidewalks and barbed wire right up to the edge of the asphalt. I'll happily bike 30-45 minutes across the city compared to that, haha
