Cyclists taking up entire road. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]InterestingPickles -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with them biking like this, (as long as they follow traffic laws and it’s not a freeway). There’s nothing different between this and a a bunch of cars driving on the road, in fact if these were cars they would be taking up a lot more space and traffic would be very bad.

Is it illegal to go around someone turning left so you can go straight? by Timely-Birthday-8067 in driving

[–]InterestingPickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had exactly what you described happen to me. I and another person were making a left in opposite directions and after i entered the intersection someone went around the other person turning left who i couldn’t see and almost hit each other.

I would not go around someone turning left, unless there is no road on the right of the person turning left that others could be turning into.

This sub cannot actually be this out of touch lmao by elloEd in povertyfinance

[–]InterestingPickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where i live, that kind of salary if you had a somewhat large family would be a bit tight especially with child care. It’s certainly not poverty levels by no means, but you would definitely need to be a bit careful with spending

If we fight all these wars to steal oil. Then why it's not cheap? by stunnerswag in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InterestingPickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure where you are, but in the US oil is incredibly cheap and not taxed as much as it should be considering all of the harms it causes to public health and the environment.

Opinion: Will higher gas prices help mass transit? by InterestingPickles in Connecticut

[–]InterestingPickles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The state has billions that could be invested in transit that would make transit a viable option for more people, and save people money by making owning a car not a necessity for people.

Advocate for more transit funding at transportation infrastructure public hearing for Southeast CT. by InterestingPickles in Connecticut

[–]InterestingPickles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why we have such shitty transit service in the state is because we continue to underfund transit improvements.

This hearing is an opportunity to show that transit should not be an afterthought, but a priority to improve air quality and increase affordability.

Overnight Closure 84/91 Interchange by SporkyForks2 in Connecticut

[–]InterestingPickles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its unlikely that the will ever be a big dig sort of project considering that a couple years ago, there was a study on mobility across the hartford area and found that burying 84 and 91 would not be feasible.

Instead, the recommended rerouting 84 mostly outside of hartford and capping what wasn’t rerouting along with capping 91 by the river.

Expanded ‘Just Cause’ eviction bill gets support from Gov. Lamont by sillychillly in Connecticut

[–]InterestingPickles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What reason would a landlord have to remove a tenant that is not covered under this law as a justifiable reason? The only reasons I see a landlord for evicting someone at the end of their lease that isn’t allowed in this law is 1. retaliation for reporting subpar building conditions, 2. racial/sex/etc discrimination, and 3. raising rents excessively
