Greeley really illustrates everything wrong with PBOT's approach to bike lanes. It's well-protected but also has no way to get out if you're alone with somebody you don't want to be alone with at night, has a poorly-time traffic signal at the end, a weird crossing of Interstate at the other, and then riding in the painted lane on Interstate is a non-starter for so many people. How, exactly, do we think this over-engineered piecemeal stuff will get people out of cars?
The bird.makeup link might start working in 24hrs or however this thing works. Somebody tell me there's a different way to do that. I don't want to link to twitter of mess with screenshots.
Not sure whether I'm more sad about the state of Portland's transportation/city politics, or the most influential voices shooting vertical video and posting it only on twitter and tiktok etc. Maybe the two are related.
Without republicans and our two-party voting method, who would vote for democrats? I bet Dems would win more elections if they worked harder on that question.
I'm afraid we're doomed to repeat (or lose) the tug-of-war with fascism until a vast majority of voters understand the ease with which money manipulates a choose-only-one or ranked runoff voting method. Maybe it's because the marbles in jars method could be cheated if you had extra marbles, nobody thought you could put a marble in more than one jar? We can't require voters to line up behind their choice and have a fair election with more than two choices. It's sad how many don't get this.
imagine running over turtles and leaving a trail of plastic particles while consuming enough energy to heat or cool a house and telling yourself you're doing the environment a favor by driving an electric car 😒
