It takes work, and if people don't want to put in the work then they will never get there.

Both Lemmy and Reddit are mostly echo chambers. If you don't agree with the hive mind, you're down voted.

Rents rose by 8% on average from 2022 to 2023, which was the highest annual average growth seen since 2000. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Rents went up for several reasons:

  1. Lack of housing supply.

  2. Increased costs for materials, contractor labor, utilities, increased costs for staffing, etc.

  3. increased demand. People lived together during the pandemic and got sick of each other.

It's been beaten to death why housing costs are up. How many more articles will there be on the same thing?

Because roundabout traffic only travels in one direction, the possibilities of head-on collisions and left turn-related crashes are virtually eliminated, Qin said. These are two of the most severe and deadly types of collisions.

Additionally, the circular design of roundabouts is intended to slow drivers to speeds where crashes are far less severe.

Roundabouts don't only offer safety benefits. They're also better for the environment, make traffic more efficient and ultimately cost less to maintain than other intersection types, Qin said.

Roundabouts also cost less to maintain than other intersection types because they do not use traffic lights or electricity.

Milwaukee definitely needs more roundabouts to help combat reckless driving.
