He may even build a BIKE LANE!!
COMMIE BASTARD
Bike lanes suck.
They’re better than no bike infrastructure at all, but they’re still suck city compared to dedicated bike paths with physical barriers between cyclists/cars and even cyclists/pedestrians.
Fuck. Don’t tell me those commie Demoncrats voted you into office too???
I’d build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!
muahahahahah!
* Roads being Roads, not Streets or Highways.

Unfortunately you’d have to solve the wage theft problem first unless you want only execs and the yuppiest yuppies living there. They were making similar plans in a not so terribly lefty city, to tear down a few neighborhoods and some not even old office buildings to build something similar. It wasn’t for any utopian plan, but to further gentrify a core part of the city and make the land owners and developers filthy rich. There was no option to be grandfathered in. They were just going to tell hundreds of families and businesses to fuck off if they couldn’t afford to move into where they already lived.
That’s a fair warning and a real shame.
Bring back public housing.
Yea, and preferably in a better way than the section 8 projects that immediately turned into slums of a slightly more vertical sort. It cannot entail simply shoving all the poors together with little other assistance.
they suck on stroads, yes. they’re mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.
I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don’t really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they’re not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.
but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it’s a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out
Nuance? Here on reddi-?.. Wait, I can expect nuance here?
I’m actually impressed that the votes flip-flopped
Unprotected bike lanes are actually worse than nothing so yeah.
I miss living on the Toronto harbourfront and being able to bike an hour in either direction along the lake with very minimal interactions with cars…
the other day i watched a car slip into the bike lane for 100yards. good thing cyclists around here know better than to take the road.
Bike lanes suck.
You would say that, ms_lane

Bike lanes are fine but also can we start ticketing bicyclists who fail basic road rule safety like blowing off stop signs and lights?
Sure, once they start murdering people at a rate similar to cars, we should enforce the laws on each group with equal vigor.
You may be interested in seeing a report of what happens when bicyclists do just that .

Meanwhile in California, over 50% of the population voted against taxing billionaires via Prop 40. I don’t understand that one at all. The fear mongering worked, I guess.
The very shallow take that taxing the rich will make them move somewhere else or hurt jobs. They are already hoarding the money and jobs are based on other factors. If the rich moved around based on taxes, they wouldn’t live in any western countries at all. Terkministan would be the prime destination. They live in places like California and New York because they like it there, otherwise North Dakota would be the new hotspot in the US.
Prop 40 is not a good way to tax billionaires. A wealth tax is extremely messy. To institute an entirely new approach to taxation would create years of accounting and legal headaches, and only help short term.
And it’s hard to overstate how shortsighted a single-time tax is.
They even want federal healthcare for everyone! What other evils will they impose on our society?
gestures wildly toward Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
I wish they did
This dangerous lunatic wants to give us universal healthcare and safe bike lanes to reduce traffic congestion!
I bet that freak doesn’t even beat his wife.
How dare he talk about non-white non-straigh-cis non-christians FREEDOMS.
/S
You’re looking to put countless insurance brokers, private health care workers and others out of a job while simultaneously decimating the automotive industry, and for what? A brighter, cleaner healthier future for your children?
You monsters.
Bike lanes??! Bicycles are too dangerous not to mention socialist! So many kids will die there won’t be any left to get shot at school!
This is unironically how the right sees Trump and his ilk though. Vividly remember a conversation between two family members when one said “why are people mad? He just wants to make America great again.”
Not sure the point I’m trying to make tbh. Just be careful with how we envision “our” candidates in our minds.
Won’t be waving a flag with their name on it like a buffoon, that’s for damn sure.
Once I get Talarico’s face tattooed on my chest and fly a “Talafreako” flag on the back of my truck every day and wear a “Time To Start Flipping Tables” hat to every Thanksgiving with my family for the next ten years then maybe we can have a cautionary conversation about idolizing politicians.
It took them awhile to realize Trump’s definition of “great” and “big beautiful” was for the 1%ers, but a dystopian hellscape for the 99%.
Nah most still haven’t realized it.
At least enough came to their senses that blue swept the midterms. Lotsa former MAGAs switched to blue. That’s how BADLY Trump has been masquerading as a Republican, actually a despotic tyrranic fascist oligarch.
and yet I remain unconvinced that a significant portion of his sycophants understand that higher prices are merely the beginning of his idolatric shitshow. Most have merely come to the end of their pitifully short attention span.
My greatest fear is that all of this is merely over cost of living, and after establishment dems snuff any meaningful change, we’ll be right back to fighting the fascist de jure after Trump slumps into his grave.
Unless (and yes, it IS a big unless that I desperately hope is merely the ghosts of the past) the Dems enact meaningful change, within the next two years, it’ll be right back to clown A vs clown B for 2028.
He just wants to make America great again
That usually comes with a big qualifier “for the right people” and everyone just projects their idea of “right people” on that.
By that logic, vote for the Democrat who wants to make America even better. Yeah, they absolutely take him at his word (except when he’s calling them stupid or denigrating military personnel, etc) but don’t listen to people who have receipts.
Well yeah, a safer children means harder time for Epstein and the gang
"CLEAN!? SAFE?!!? but how the fuck is that meant to generate profit for shareholders!?!
Nobody is giving me a brown envelope full of cash to build a new PARK
What a disaster for freedom and democracy"
The RADICAL LEFT wants to create car-free zones for safer, greener and more accessible cities 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
“We’re funding numerous infrastructure projects to finally modernise our infrastructure!”
“WHAT ABOUT POTHOLES!!! ARE YOU ROAD PHOBIC!!! THE RADICAL LEFT HAS DONE IT AGAIN, FUNNELING MONEY INTO CORRUPTION!!!”
Unironically being said where Ilive
The radical left fixed my streets and now they’re all woke, no potholes or sinkholes or anything. They even sealed the asphalt and repainted the lines, how could they!?
Lets not treat politicians like well intentioned individual when lying to get into power is common.
Nono shhhhhh we voted in midterms, that’s aaaaaaall we have to do! Let’s not pretend like there’s a huge mass of republicans and morons that will be getting gaslit and manipulated even harder for the next two years, and there’s definitely not an even more important vote then that Dems will surely try to stuff some milquetoast candidate into!
Nonono, now is the time to celebrate and pretend things are fixed like a light switch being flipped!
Within 12 hours of polls closing, we see one of the biggest electoral smackdowns ever, and fucking Blexas. Dems don’t take power for a few months yet.
If you’re not a whiney pessimist, this is exactly the time to celebrate!
lol we’ll see how long the famously short American memory is… I’ve seen this song and dance many times before. Sad you clowns don’t understand how reality works.
Note how I never said this was a bad thing. I only implied everything that is glaringly obvious from history.
This made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
Clean and safe cities are woke! If we don’t sacrifice enough children, the Car God will be angry!
I’ve heard soooo many conservatives saying that “both sides are bad” and yes, I will agree. Within reason both sides are bad, but in all honesty, only one side is protecting pedophiles, starting meaningless wars, and endangering the lives of other people just because of who they want to sleep with and the color of their skin and who they chose to worship.
They aren’t all conservatives saying both sides commit evil, in fact, that’s a very not conservative thing to believe.
The Democrats are also protecting pedophiles and have started wars and also still complicit in a genocide. They are fucking indistinguishable from outside of America.
When was this mythical version of the Democratic party that didn’t involve itself in imperialist wars? Obama it was Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen, and deportations. Biden it was Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and more deportations.
They are not our friends (at least they aren’t mine) even if they do this stuff less they are not to be supported.
So long as not supporting them cannot turn into helping the even worse option. Only an absolute fool allows worse to happen just because there is no ‘good’ option.
To be fair, that’s what the Republicans say too. They just mean something very different by those words.
Neither side interprets the spoken words at face value. The moral difference is very much in the underlying ideology, not in these explicit words.
