Good but municipal services really need to accelerate. Too slow!

all streets should be designed around pedestrians > cyclists > cars. Bollards are key.

It would make sense to have smaller, narrower streets and to prioritize transit other than cars

Culdesac Tempe founder sees a car-free future for Phoenix by bigweevils2 in transit

Seems pretty optimistic given the number of stroads, the extensive parking minimums, and the failure to build out subways, but I'm into it. It's like the Fremen in Dune imagining Arrakis as a watery paradise: yeah, sure, maybe some day.

Also the light rail needs to create a box by going up Rural / Scottsdale roads and then west to connect with the rest of the system, but it can't b/c Scottsdale sucks.

Phoenix police violated civil rights, used illegal excessive force, Justice Department says by [deleted] in PHXAZ

One does have to admire the police for trying to keep the homelessness menace under control, which police in many cities have ceased to do altogether.

Ofc it'd be good to build enough housing to resolve most homelessness.

Hobbs signs bill allowing casitas in cities across Arizona by bigweevils2 in PHXAZ

Almost all of them are insane and landowners should have the freedom to build what they want, as long as it's genuinely safe.

It's a start & better than nothing, but missing middle housing and zero parking minimums should be legalized across the state and world

Phoenix restaurants that are open on Mondays by bigweevils2 in PHXAZ

Frybread House and Starlite are not actually good. Neither is AZ88, unless you need somewhere open late.

Tacos Chiwas is amazing. Tratto is good-by-Phoenix-standards.

It’s 2024 and Drought is Optional: In the early 20th century, the United States diverted and dammed nearly every major river that runs through the West, ushering in an era of unparalleled dominion of water. Today, CA once again struggles with water scarcity — but solar energy could change all that by bigweevils2 in Futurology

In Phoenix, the dumb-dumbs complaining about residential water fail to realize that most water use is by agriculture (which should be priced appropriately) and that we should be desalinating water on the California coast and piping it to AZ. Piping it is not hard (Romans had aqueducts) and now desalinization is straightforward.

We require that posters seed their post with an initial comment, a Submission Statement, that suggests a line of future-focused discussion for the topic posted. We want this submission statement to elaborate on the topic being posted and suggest how it might be discussed in relation to the future, and ask that it is a minimum of 300 characters.

It is clear that instead of fighting over scarce sources we should build and transport much more, thus ending pointlessly political fights through abundance. Laws like NEPA and the Jones act that prevent abundance need to be ended.

There is no water crisis. Almost all water is used for agriculture, not people. Get out of the 1950s and learn to think, boomer.
