I wish I found this relatable, I struggle to limit my eating

You say it sounds good, yet you're advocating for the exact opposite design principles 🤔

And as I'm sure you're aware, Montreal isn't in Europe lol but it's pretty great

I'm confused how this would increase Loblaws profits?

So no example of a city that has successfully implemented all these ideas and was better for it?

Because there's lots of cities that have successfully done mostly the opposite and are better for it (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Montreal, Paris, Bergen, Oulu, etc)

Ticketing distracted pedestrians? What kinda garbage city do you wanna live in lmao

Out of curiosity, what do you view as a well designed city that would be a good example of what you want to see more of

Thanks for the link, looks like that'll change drastically depending what city you're in.

Did a lil research and it looks like it would indeed be in the 10% ish range for my city, but yea sounds like it's too high in some areas.

Do you have stats to backup that 1/3 price argument?

From my experience it was more like 5-10% cost was taxes

Almost everyone I know chooses to not learn some random common skill. Not sure it's typically reasonable to call it "learned helplessness"

Depends where you live. I have friends who aren't comfortable driving, so hence never drive.

Nothing wrong with that, better than accidentally killing someone someday.

But if you live somewhere without decent public transit and/or cycling infrastructure, you may not have a choice :/

It's a written rule, but where I live no one seems to pay any attention to it.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant cars should stay out of the pedestrian crosswalk. Editted

When waiting at a red light, cars are supposed to stay out of the pedestrian crosswalk
