There should really be a crosswalk law where if a community petitions for a crosswalk they get it, even if they have to fund it themselves.
Also if the visibility is bad they need to restrict street parking.


I do think vandalizing illegally parked cars is a good way to get the city to fine them.


That’s exactly the point. Cities in the US have expanded despite insane and arbitrary parking requirements. The affordability crisis and the ‘strip-mall-ification’ of the US are something that are inexorably linked. We don’t build affordable housing anymore, we build parking lots and suburbs.
This fixation on suburbs and parking lots is a major factor in the affordability crisis we face


Cities today are orders of magnitude larger (population-wise) than cities in the early 1900s and this is largely due to plumbing and fire codesn Parking is like an afterthought in terms of city planning of any size, usually.
Parking in most US cities is insane because of lobbying and corruption by the car industry. The design challenges aren’t unique.
The problem in the US is not size or distance or density, none of those are in any way unique.
The #1 biggest difference between US and other countries is lobbying by car companies. In the US car companies have created not only a plethora of pseudoscientific parking laws but also import/export, safety, transit, and emission laws. None of which make any sense.


Those aren’t LLMs.


What company does she work for so I can stay clear of that impending hallucinatory clusterfuck?


I have yet to see a field where LLMs are a net positive. At best scammers can dupe people easier and faster than ever but between writing, programming, etc the avg productivity gain is typically negligible at best to achieve work of similar quality with or without LLMs.


As they should
It is more expensive to build multilevel parking but its how the laws work. It might even be that the law required this much parking based on statistical models, which is insane if people are getting there some other way.
Imo we could reduce the size of parking lots by just requiring nearby businesses to allow unrestricted parking during their off hours.


I think setting to “rat detected” would be better.


Except student performance is falling across the world. What you said is the reason the US is like lower than most other western countries in outcomes. Its maybe less the reason that outcomes are getting worse across the board.
My gut says its just the reflection of a stratified global society. The billionaire and multimillionaire elites fund their schools very well while the rest struggle with collapsing budgets and parents that can’t afford quality education. So countries with more cultural education values are weathering this crisis solely from extra public funding.
The way to validate this would be to see if recent drops in education correlate to funding.


It does feel like there are already countries doing this effectively and thoughtfully, its just the vast majority of them are not.


And science and health experts are largely libs. So owning them involves a lot of self destructive bullshit like making measles great again and polluting everything.


LLMs are just a very advanced form of the magic 8ball. 


“designed to serve readers” [citation needed]
This was not, in fact designed to serve readers. No possible meaning of that is in anyway correct. It is “non-designed to serve non-readers”
You’re also teaching the assholiest assholes a new way to asshole people. But yeah the avg assholes will at least understand how shitty they’re being
I feel like some kind of skit show needs to do this. Its the same puppet but with an orange safety vest and a hard hat.
Well as part of LEO training they bring in a lead box, and slowly winch up the lid revealing 12oz of fentanyl in a sealed glass container. Only the people that pass out for at least 30 seconds are kept as officers.
Practically the same thing.
Or at least shove something in the tailpipe.
