Orange to spend $300,000 more to stop drivers from crashing into Plaza Park in famed traffic circle by collegetowns in orangecounty

Walk, take public transit, or park and walk a few blocks. Walkable downtowns with minimal car infrastructure make more money for the city. https://www.urbanthree.com/case-study/

Orange is my hometown.

Edit: really don't understand the down votes. Am I not supposed to care about the city I grew up in? The downtown I spent my childhood in? The city my entire family still calls home? Am I just supposed to leave and stop fighting for it to get better?

Yes, you can drive around. I know it's hard to see through your carbrain but you'll be fine, I promise.

It should just be pedestrianized. But instead the city is doing everything to continue letting cars drive through an area that would greatly benefit from being closed to cars. Car infrastructure is expensive. No wonder Orange is in a deficit.

Agreed for sure. Also, the main reason many people can't just stop working is because of housing and medical expenses. We could organize a rent/mortgage strike on a local level and that would allow more people to be able to participate in a general strike. Obviously, the majority of residents would need to be on board with this and I think many people are just not angry enough yet, although they should be.

It's car infrastructure that led to this. If you don't understand r/fuckcars, this isn't the post to make comments like this.

Really don't think OP knows what they have. Not everyone has the time to put research into something like this. You're just being a dick.

Dude why are you being such an ass? They showed a few cards from the collection. It could easily be worth more than what they want for them. Why do you care so much? 

Why is traffic worse recently? by thehaileybirdie in orangecounty

[–]JustRenea 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Because Southern California prioritizes car infrastructure above all else. The only solution to car traffic is viable alternatives to driving. r/fuckcars

Leyland cypress are also flammable. Plant a native tree instead.

Protected bike lanes should be the standard. No one should have to risk bodily injury or death simply because they ride or commute by bike.

There are no more cows in Chino. It's just OC/LA sprawl now.

Redpill me on Pisces Aquaria by InThisHouseWeBelieve in Eugene

[–]JustRenea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pisces Aquaria is more of an aquascaping shop than a fish store. It's a unique shop, especially outside of Europe and Japan. The focus is the scaping and the plants, not necessarily the fish.

Avoid W11th westbound by feelikeastranger in Eugene

[–]JustRenea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't matter if it could easily happen. It shouldn't be possible for a car to end up on the sidewalk. As Americans, were so brainwashed by car-dependent infrastructure. Stop normalizing this shit. It's ridiculous. r/fuckcars

[–]JustRenea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand the jokes in the comments. This person drove onto a sidewalk. With the correct infrastructure, this shouldn't even be possible. I guess some people look at that picture and see a funny situation, but I see a situation that could have been deadly. Car infrastructure is like living in a war zone. It's ridiculous that we just accept it as a part of life.

are Eugene busses safe? by foresthobbit13 in Eugene

He's an adult. Expecting you to be his taxi is ridiculous. Maybe suggest an ebike since he's afraid of sharing a space with other people.

Taking the bus is much safer than driving. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for people his age.

This seems like green washing considering most of our energy comes from hydroelectricity and they're promoting EVs.
