I’m yet to see a majority support from businesses when pedestrianization efforts begin(18% in this case), but they always do a 180 when they see sales growth

including stopping projects decoupling their parking space and selling it for extra

They already sell it for extra, those parking spaces are never free and you always pay for them

OP posted another article with more details on it: !https://lemmy.world/post/31486375

From the article:

Construction costs run from $10,000 per parking space in a surface lot to $70,000 per space in an underground garage. That gets baked into what developers must recoup from tenants and buyers, whether they own a car or not. The rules drive up the per-unit cost to build affordable housing (in New York, affordable units near transit are exempt from parking minimums, but the rules still apply elsewhere). And they often require more parking than people actually use.

Whenever I hear that in my family, it always comes from smokers, which basically means their taste buds and olfactory senses have already been compromised

They miss the sense of community because we no longer have 3rd places to hang out. For those unaware:

If you don’t like driving, then don’t. Take a bus, a train, or bike

That’s exactly the problem: I can’t, my city has shitty bus routes with 1 hour frequency, trains are non existent, bike infrastructure only on dreams. That’s the freedom we want, but with car centric infrastructure, we don’t have the freedom to choose how to move and function on this society

That is a beautiful place, but with my tennis skills, I would serve it right off that cliff

They will want bigger cars, soon enough we will have locomotives on our streets

Sorry, I mistakenly read your original comment, transaction fees for USDC are actually free (gasless) via Base on Ethereum, eg: https://xcancel.com/coinbasewallet/status/1800653787960406031

Costs mentioned on my previous post are for other assets

It has been around USD 0.001~0.008, but they are scaling aggressively so fluctuations aren’t as significant in the future regardless of usage. Details here: https://www.growthepie.com/fees

You can actually do it using USDC (USD stablecoin) on Ethereum via Base for free:

Most people think of crypto as a scam, but there are actual useful products being built on Ethereum, and this is a great illustration on where it is a useful tool

You should engage locally to change your zoning laws to allow for that. Most places are only allowed to have single family homes and nothing else

Any particular reason for the markers on the eggshell?

And car lobby

And that’s the most valuable real state when it comes to transit oriented development. We should have dense mixed use developments in this area instead of car parks

I’m not so well versed in music, so any examples of music that you like that have this distortion you mentioned?

Any song in particular that you’d recommend?

You might have eaten a different cultivar than those exported. In that case, I agree, there are so many different varieties that we never get to taste, supermarkets usually only have 1 or 2 different types
