Making sure city streets are wide as a highway lane is integral to fire safety, maybe if they narrowed streets they would be responding to fewer grisly car crashes
Are you high AF? You start off sane enough, but rapidly scatter into wtf territory in multiple irrational directions at once.
Maybe come back to this thought after a rest. 🤓
I was, this is how I solve problems:
Why's it in Russian?
Because they're likely a Russian troll
In America, the fire department chief (unelected) often sits on the committee to determine what the roads look like, they will often be the ones demanding the roads stay as wide as possible and have zero traffic calming. For fire safety.
My point was that they respond to way more car crashes than house fires, and are in position to influence that, and choose to make things less safe for everyone.
Wider roads make things more safe for everyone. Your 'fuck cars' bullshit is no different than all of the annoying stoners saying weed should be legal in conversations where that point is irrelevant.
Found the guy driving a gender affirming vehicle
Nope, I drive a small truck because I do a lot of DIY projects and needed something to haul lumber in. It's basically a hatchback with a short bed.
It's comical parking next to gender affirming vehicles because it looks like a toy truck in comparison.
That's cool, I prefer smaller trucks like that.
Wide roads suck ass for people walking, and are completely inappropriate inside residential areas.
Ewww I would never want fire chiefs elected. Also you're just wrong in basically every assumption you make about how decisions get made.
Assumption? I attend these traffic commission meetings lol
If your guy feels like showing up to those meetings they are an extremely rare exception. There is no rule that they be present, they just must feel like voicing their opinion.
They're at pretty much every meeting, if so much as a speed bump comes up it's vetoed
I think some people believe we should live in some sort of Athenian democracy where we vote on everything and anything and who has the fucking time?
1984.world in action- stating how American municipalities work is misinformation
