There are other costs than just time to transportation, ignoring the fact that their analysis showed little overall change to car traffic

Sorry the bullshit from the residents around here drove me nuts

I live there and have absolutely no idea what the fuck you are talking about. They are all still open. Even the biggest moaners like Fast Phil's and City Paint are still around. Season To Taste moved into a larger building with zero parking in a more expensive part of Cambridge.

And frankly, many of the businesses in this stretch of Mass Ave suck big time and despite living literal footsteps from them I refuse to patronize them because they offer awful products or services.

I have seen the po po relatively frequently enforce these bus lanes too, which is a nice change of pace for the city.

I live right off N. Mass Ave in this area and was super impressed with the graph/data and results! The suburban car commuters can get bent. The bus lanes and bike lanes are a huge improvement.

The 77 is great and should run more frequently, and the city without a doubt should keep these bus lanes.

For us it has been a total win — and I say that as someone who lives below a child. Financially, we have already built a lot of equity through criminal levels of appreciation in housing values.

Cambridge and Somerville are cities. The vast majority of people live in condos. They appreciate just as much as SFHs.

I think we’re pretty rapidly heading in that direction

They have to pay their taxes just like I do and that isn’t an excuse to strangle the cities finances

Not stupid at all. Single family zoning was explicitly created as a way around a supreme court decision (Buchanan v. Warley) that barred explicit racial covenants.

And in practice, Oregon has already banned it in most of the state, Washington is set to follow, and California has functionally done so in much of the state. Minneapolis has banned it city wide. Cambridge MA is generally expected to do so in the next year or two.

As opposed to what? telling those people to move or live 2 hours from their work?

yup. they 100% do this.

Any stats showing that is anywhere near enough?

As with most motorists that is not the answer they want. They want to hear how they can keep breaking the rules without having to pay for it

Car drivers opinions of themselves: the most persecuted group of people in the history of the universe

So busy running a bakery that never has customers!

I’m going to go ahead and say less than the number of car-pedestrian crashes every year

Lmaoooo these motorists complaining about how the roads are being stolen from them. Look as this picture!

Thousands of people hit by cars versus one meteorologist beat up on a train. You just blow in from stupid town?

Never forget that getting hit by a car will probably leave you with chronic pain for the rest of your life. Deaths are tragic but not even the whole story.

Drivers will never be responsible and there will never be enough police to enforce traffic laws, ignoring the fact that they actively don’t care.

This is why all the talk around deaths is so disingenuous. Getting hit by a car going any speed is going to fuck up your body, probably for life.

Lmao no way this guy is in the nyc sub simping on cars.

Do you live in a dense part of the city? Would you describe walking around as a relaxing experience, especially in the dark in Winter?

I would describe it as extremely stressful with many close calls

Streets used to be public spaces where people gathered, now they are war zones and people can't even walk around their own neighborhood.

I hope you are ok.
