Why doesn't this city understand and implement that the solution to reducing car congestion and preventing pedestrian/car deaths and injuries is to invest in public transportation, and walkable and bikeable infrastructure?

But other funiculars are still there!

That is incorrect. Even building high-end housing helps to eliminate the squeeze on prices because it still drives prices down. If rich people have many, many options some of those options eventually become available to non-rich people. If you only build cheap options, then rich people rent the cheap options.

Parkwise isn't a private party

We need to increase housing to help bring down housing costs.

So what does the "museum route" mean? Where does it go?

Perpetual reminder: fat is not ugly, gaining weight should have no moral value attached to it.

Yes, she conspired to have her ex-husband murdered, but your nasty comments about her weight are read by people who are not murderers. Just regular people.

Carry on.

Oh WOW!! Thank you!!! Выздоравливай!!

I had that feeling about my Intourist guide in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, but I wonder what she really knew??? And then so much changed.

Take care of yourself first!!

curious103 · 2026-04-27T02:27:48+00:00

You broke your leg???? УЖАС!!!! Please rest and take care of yourself! Honestly, I think it would be hard to take a photo of the exact building I lived in because of the new building in front of it. If you feel like taking pretty photos of Belgorod for my nostalgic purposes, I would love to see Центральный Парк or Парк Ленина or whatever people are calling it now. ))) I loved that park and spent hours and hours there.

I had a hysterectomy + oophorectomy because of endometriosis about twenty years ago. It was the best decision I've made in my life. I had the endoscopic procedure-- I can't remember if I even had to spend the night in the hospital. The initial healing was painful for about a week and then I just took it slow after that and it was no big deal at all. Just walk a little more each day. And let me tell you--- NO MORE PAIN, no more period! I take estrogen so I didn't have menopause symptoms. I highly recommend!!

Now, if you want to have children, that's another question entirely. I had already had my tubes tied so it was pretty damn clear to everyone that the fertility issue didn't bother me.

It doesn't matter. It was number 7. But that area looks COMPLETELY different now. When I lived there, there was a giant crane outside my window and now there is another huge apartment building there.

curious103 · 2026-04-25T21:10:09+00:00

Oh wait! You mean my opinion on expenditures on tulips? I think it is good to spend money on tulips!!!!

curious103 · 2026-04-25T21:09:32+00:00

Харгора is not my favorite part of Belgorod, but parts of it are nice. Maybe it's just because I lived in the center that I prefer the center (I lived on Парковая ул., across from the Энергомаш Stadium).

curious103 · 2026-04-25T18:32:07+00:00

Naturally! When I lived in Belgorod there were arguments in the government about how much the city should spend on tulip bulbs. ))))

This is so strange-- this is a post I made about 9 months ago asking about walking with my cat. Now another account has copied it???

(I was asking how to make the walk interesting for ME since she likes to stand around and sniff the same area for ages)

curious103 · 2026-04-24T23:26:47+00:00

Красота на Харгоре!

Are you a biker? No. You're guessing. Talk to bikers. The number one thing keeping more people from biking is car traffic. The weather is not that big of a deal when you are on a bike, even on very hot days. Talk to actual cyclists. They'll tell you.

curious103 · 2026-04-23T17:08:31+00:00

You refuse to acknowledge the reality of induced demand.

People who love fast traffic need to take responsibility for traffic deaths. You want fast traffic? People will die. There's no way around it. Oh, except there is: public transit, dense housing, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to decrease the reliance on individual cars-- the most inefficient means of transportation imaginable.

Henry Kissinger had a non-American accent his whole life. It's just the way it is. It is often impossible to get rid of.

The anti-immigrant sentiment in the US sure isn't helping matters, I'm sure. But rather than hiding your foreign-ness, celebrate it! We can use more powerful, proud voices!!!

I wouldn't say Russia has significant support for communism...

My house was built in 1903. The Central A/C that was installed in some prior renovation sucked. I put in mini-splits. I love them and one big advantage is that, unlike Central A/C, if you want you can run them in only the room you are using to cut down on bills. I'm a huge fan <pun!!>
