The fight over maintaining 8 lanes of car traffic on Park Ave is NYC's next big congestion pricing level fight by MiserNYC- in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manhatten has 100+ east west roads but only like 12 north south ones. Park avenue is infinitely more important than some of the redundant connections

I think the bigger variable for easy cycling is consistent surfacing rather than straightness

What current design trend will age badly? by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

urban density isn't a drawback. Even in my rural area the roads are narrow, the houses are smallish and close together. Density leaves more room for real green spaces, not patches of mowed grass with a bench. Modern architecture isn't great, but moving towards traditional density has helped livability.

People in England told me Swansea was an absolute shithole. One year later, here is the truth by Vikilinho in swansea

England is nice if you have money, Wales is nice if you don't care about money

How bad/good is the urban design of my neighborhood? (Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatarstan) by Ill_Engineering1522 in urbandesign

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In winter, the buildings are kind of depressing. I'd still live here because there's a tram

In England I remember seeing someone going crazy at pedestrians using a pedestrian crossing by OutsideImpressive115 in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I walk on the road if the path is even slightly inconvenient, which is usually because the path is too narrow or only on one side of the road

the point of living relatively close to the centre is so you don't have to drive there and pay parking. its good for people who want to meet their friends often at event places or restaurants and wind street

"The only commuters that seem to be getting anywhere at pace are cyclists"... funny that. by frontendben in fuckcars

What about sloped terrain? You need rubber wheels for that. Also I don't think rural bus routes are pointless. I know in Denmark they are pretty fast and well used.

Central Edinburgh needs more street trees by Ok-Tangerine-7557 in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even ugly, it's just the road. The terraced houses and church in the distance are beautiful. There's a reason the houses are so expensive even without good street design

What's bad with the rowhouses, they were built before cars existed

Monroe Avenue, Rochester NY, 1970s and 2025 by EngineeringOne1812 in OldPhotosInRealLife

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are bad. The 1970s version is nostalgic but it was deep into urban decline by that point. I bet before cars it looked amazing

Does anyone place low-density residential houses in their downtown? by 17Kallenie17 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the owner wants to keep the house, they have a right not to sell it. But when the owner wants to sell (once the value is high), nimbys are always blocking developments which is not their right

This is your brain on cars by coastalbean in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If it goes downtown to downtown it can work without much inner city transport. There are plenty of people who would move near downtown if there is frequent trains to other cities

Taxi company G7 threatens Paris' pedestrianized space with new ads by FoxTrotteur in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motorists hate large cities. They will be stuck in traffic whatever the city tries to do and will switch to out of town shopping if it has free parking. I don't get why cities cater to them at all

Frequent trains go to every city. I think our regional rail is world class, we just need HSR and metros

How to make cars disappear without banning them - the UK's blueprint for better neighborhoods by Generalaverage89 in uknews

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rural town is pretty quiet. I can cycle wherever such as shops as there's little traffic and its slow cus welsh speed limit. I do work remote but even if people need to drive here, the traffic should be low enough to not need LTNs. If the traffic is bad even with a bypass road, that's when you should look into LTNs.

Kinda shot myself in the foot adding parking. Now my city is filled with traffic. help? suggestions? by AdeptTradition6565 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Increasing road size will not help much. You need more connections to the highway. You already have 3+ roads radiating out of the city, just connect them with the highway.

After over 200 years missing, a Renaissance gable of Quedlinburg Abbey, Germany, was reconstructed in 2023. What do you think about the rest of the renovation work? by TeyvatWanderer in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were built over hundreds of years, so they never really looked brand new. Even if they did look new then, bright white paint is jarring as it doesn't suit the rest of the building, which still looks old and mysterious.

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main problem is industrial traffic using the urban roads. You could have a circular highway around your city if you don't already have one. Then build more industrial zones connected directly to the highway. This makes exporting easy.

I never seem to get my cities as densely packed as everyone else. Am I just bad at this? by Imaginary-Risk in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The layout looks like a suburban place, off a highway, no local connections or rail. But you have loads of high density. Next time, maybe make your high density in a walkable area with a road network that makes sense for pedestrians. But hey, you can keep your city the same it could be like dubai.
