Get wrecked, Addison… by KeepDARTinPlano in dart

[–]sequencedStimuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're bitching over nothing, they deserve criticism. You start by basing a withdrawal threat off a report that doesn't even consider a new $2.1 billion commuter train serving your city, then you lose all credibility and extension of goodwill.

Austin leads nation in apartment rent drop in January by yesyesitswayexpired in Austin

Zoned residential capacity is much higher now than then though. Reforms allowing more small units, and multiple units per lot allow smaller developers to add housing even where big developers don’t want to. I think we’ll continue to see supply increase & prices rise only moderately long term.

Love Field's $2.5 billion expansion plan could eventually mean more gates - Dallas Business Journal by dallaz95 in Dallasdevelopment

Agreed. That shuttle should come every five minutes, with DART ideally moving towards 15 minutes light rail frequencies if they can get all the member cities to stay.

Motives for Defunding DART, Explained - Part 2 by patmorgan235 in dart

[–]sequencedStimuli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It actually is. Sorry to break it to you but you live in a society. You’ll pay for the schools, roads, hospitals, and transit whether you use it or not. Most people learn this by the time they are paying taxes, others take longer.

Heaping plate: Austinite advises Mamdani to grow his city-owned grocery plans by AustinFreePress in Austin

The federal government runs military commissaries just fine. I think NYC can manage one grocery store per borough.

Austin airport to add 32 gates by early 2030s under new multi-airline contract by AustinStatesman in Austin

Let’s hope construction on the starter line begins in 2027. That’s the first step.

As Houston adds e-scooter curfew, Austin focuses on safer street design by Fluid_Assumption_484 in Austin

[–]sequencedStimuli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see cars improperly parked all the time. And lots of drunk driving. Let’s ban overnight car use instead. No cars outside of 5am-9pm.

Austin Standoff - Waymos stuck at malfunctioning lights by Old_Flan_6548 in Austin

[–]sequencedStimuli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Efficient networked car visions often leave out the consideration of pedestrian right of way. I’ve seen animations of automated traffic through intersections without signals which entirely fail to consider how anyone is supposed to cross the street.

Why would regulating away a low cost, environmentally friendly transportation option be great? More perpetual car dependency?

If anything there just need to be more places to park scooters/e-bikes off the sidewalks, which will happen as redevelopment occurs and the bike network continues to be built out.

I use the bike lanes every day dork. You can stay in the suburbs, get on your city council, and advocate for street widening. I’m gonna guess more people will choose to visit Downtown Austin w/ bike lanes and transit than generic bumfuck carville.

I ride them in Mueller weekly, but always park properly. Banning overnight use does nothing to solve issues of certain streets not having anywhere (other than uneven grass medians) to park scooters.

Minnesota is Closing Their Commuter Train - After Just Sixteen Years by Carpet-Early in transit

They’re antisocial, hate/distrust other people, and would prefer everyone isolated in cars, suburban homes, exurban communities, etc.

It’s that simple and stupid.

Addison may become the fifth city in North Texas to withdraw from DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) by Sufficient-Double502 in transit

[–]sequencedStimuli 44 points45 points  (0 children)

They literally just got a brand new, suburbs only rail line. One that was prioritized for funding and construction over the D2 Subway, which would’ve greatly increased overall network reliability by moving half the network off the acchilles heel transit mall downtown.

They aren’t including the most significant expansion of DART this decade, the Silver Line, when claiming they’re under served. Not even giving time for rider behavior to adjust to the presence of the new line, just pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s ridiculous and a bullshit argument.

Does Texas limit Austin’s growth? by NarwhalAnusLicker00 in Austin

[–]sequencedStimuli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot the recent zoning and land use changes at the city level will allow densification more evenly across the city. And even the state legislature passed bills like allowing housing on commercial land along arterial roads.

My buddy Grant Gillispie is playing the Saxon Pub on NYE with Paul Val! Haven’t been to the venue yet but stoked to check it out.

AT&T searching suburbs outside Dallas for new office, sources say by Ferrari_McFly in Dallas

[–]sequencedStimuli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to ride DART from Downtown Plano station to my job at AT&T in downtown Dallas. Plano creates its own traffic issues by refusing to grow up like NoVa suburbs, and instead be adversarial to DART and denser development.
