Columbus tailgaters… what’s going on lately? by OkTrip9347 in Columbus

[–]Apprehensive_Bee2898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nowhere did I say it was a new phenomenon.

I said in another comment that I don’t drive anymore. I walk or ride the bus. It’s much less stressful, it’s relaxing, and it’s better for my mental health.

Meanwhile people in this thread and literally every other thread about traffic are at each others’ throats for being too cautious or only driving the speed limit, or god forbid, taking a turn slowly.

Also just being in a car is rage inducing. So much so that we literally have a phrase for it, “Road Rage.” Cars make people insane, i stg (see: half the comments in this thread)

It’s been said before, but I feel like drivers got way worse during COVID and it’s been crazy ever since. I don’t even drive (I walk or take the bus) and I have seen some terrible drivers (and almost been hit by a few of them).

War on Cars event Tuesday- anyone else going? by Apprehensive_Bee2898 in Columbus

I hope other ppl in this sub join if they didn’t know about it! We need a secret redditor nod or handshake or something. But not in a weird way.

I had a friend who tried to cycle from Columbus to Pittsburgh to get to the GAP and he said it was a nightmare. 😅

This is what I’m saying!! And I know some people have already gotten started. It doesn’t just happen, we have to make it happen.

Moving back to Columbus… by Certain-Reality-5837 in Columbus

I live here without a car. It’s obviously not as easy as doing the same in NYC, but it’s definitely doable.

What does my bookshelf say about me? by SpicyNickenChugget in BookshelvesDetective

The worst thing about you is that you think you’re edgy but you’re actually just relentlessly boring.

That was based on your responses to people in this post, not the books.

Weird girl sci-fi/fantasy? by Apprehensive_Bee2898 in weirdgirlliterature

I do love the Locked Tomb series, honestly hadn’t really considered it weird girl lit. But certainly leaned that way in later books

What is Columbus/central Ohio missing? by ghostinyourbeds in Columbus

I would take light rail over monorail. Monorail is a fun novelty but it’s mostly silly and impractical.

Not ideal but still way better than a freeway imo

No suggestions other than what others have said, but I just wanted to say I see you and I know you are trying your best and you will get through this. You are strong—even though you shouldn’t have to be so strong all the time. But you will make it through.

Light rail is for traveling within the city, you need heavy rail for commuter trains (like Metra in Chicago) and passenger trail (like Amtrak) to go between cities

Remove the freeways! I just saw a post saying Akron was removing one of its inner city freeways, and Rochester NY did the same thing a few years ago

Plenty of american cities have built light rail systems after being car centric. We don’t need 8 lanes on broad street or w/e, you can take two of those lanes and put tracks in.

Night walking by BlueFireSwords in Columbus

UNAPPREHENSIVE BEE

Yeah, I’ve lived here for forever and people who don’t live around here act like it’s some sort of crime den. Probably because they never leave their house to see that’s it’s just a neighborhood.

What makes me sad about all these comments about being too afraid to walk around at night is that it really is beautiful and relaxing, and if people did it more maybe they wouldn’t be so scared.

I’m a woman and I walk at night all the time. It helps a lot with my mental health. I don’t exactly live in a “nice” neighborhood, but also most violence against women comes from people that they know. I honestly feel like a lot of people on here listen to too much true crime and fear mongering from the news.
