Because I have ADHD and have interest in my local politics.

I would also like to see a study on why the discrepancy, but it certainly seems accurate based on my experience.

I'm not saying everyone should move to the city, nor am I saying that we should get rid of all the cars. I'm saying the way we build our cities needs to change. We can't afford not to.

I live in a rural area; we could still have better public transit and less sprawl to help those who shouldn't own a car for financial reasons.

Why not both?

The average American spends $1k a month per car on auto loans, insurance, gas, and other car-related expenses, and the average family has 2.5 cars per household.

Maybe cutting those down or out completely would make people more financially resilient. Of course, businesses should pay people better, too, but decades of studies have shown us that planning our cities in a way that increases car dependency is more expensive and unsustainable for everyone.

Work on the project, even just for a few moments. It stays in your brain and forces you into habit rather than "inspiration".

Or hold a garage sale and cut your losses

My podcasts fall into two groups:

Linux/Tech

  • Destination Linux
  • Late Night Linux and its brethren
  • Linux GameCast and its sister show LWDW

Urbanism

  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • Strong Towns Podcast
  • Upzoned

They release on almost a daily schedule, so I always have something to listen to.

The one that works for my use case.

There is a Microsoft Approved way of getting Xbox Cloud Gaming to work on Steam Deck. I haven't tried doing it on Linux proper, but it would be weird if they didn't allow it.

As a non-user of Gamepass, I don't know if this is acceptable or not, but it's the only thing I am aware of.

I think that it would be okay to not inform the local gov because would be temporary. That's usually the theme of tactical urbanism is just going out and doing the deed by yourself to show what it could look like

I've been thinking about turning the parking lot of an out of business big box store into a temporary third place on the weekends. Some sidewalk chalk and small canopies to make a place people want to hang out at.

It's more c/tacticalurbanism related, but it would be better than what my area currently has
