If you use sugar to pickle something, the result is called "jam". Strawberry jam is sugar-pickled strawberries. So... Yes, you can. And it's done commonly.

I know it's absurd.

Why did you bring that absurd idea up in this comment of yours?

Good to notice that they do have a train station right in front of the stadium. It's a 2-minute walk. And if you're able to afford visiting the stadium, you are definitely able to afford the local train ticket there as well!

It seems quite sure that "proper transportation arrangements" can mean taking the local train just fine.

That is a self-clarity. But why should every human being use buses only? That sounds incredibly dystopic, to be honest.

Please take a look at the map. There are plenty of things there, other than just one hotel. There's the whole town of Lyndhurst there, and the southern parts of Rutherford, just some 5 km away from the stadium. Or, if we take 5 miles, that would mean about 8 km. 8 km is about the limit until what distance can be covered by bicycle without an effort.

A society exists for maintaining infrastructure. It's a basic function and it's unforgivable for a city to fail on that!

EDIT: And because it's really useful to look at the map, here's a direct link to show the distances: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=40.81219%2C-74.07257%3B40.7875%2C-74.13428#map=14%2F40.80825%2F-74.09755

Sorry, I understand each word you wrote, but not really their meaning. Would you be able to paraphrase, please?

Heh, PieFed has been around in a usable form for less than one year now. It's a pity it wasn't around when you joined the Fediverse, but now it is. I believe chances are it will eventually overtake Lemmy in number of users. That should also probably speed up Lemmy's development quite nicely, which would be nice as well!

Hm, this makes me think: An ability to grey out or even more aggressively hide posts from user/instance that I have blocked, but still without completely deleting them, would be very welcome to me!

I could decide to read the shit if I really want to, but I could also easily recognize those comments as something I do not really want to interact with, and proceed to other comments.

Do you think that the city should engage a -- civil engineering project to build a pedestrian bridge over a navigable canal?

Uhmm? Yes? Have you somehow missed that there's a stadium on the other side of the canal? There are a lot of things in the southwest corner of the map, not just one hotel. I do not believe there's any other country on this planet where this is even a question. That bridge would absolutely get built. Building the stadium cost a big sum of money. A simple pedestrian bridge costs something like 50 000 $, maybe 200 000 $ if you want a fancy one. How would it not be possible for the stadium to pay that? It's an increase of about one percent to the project's expenses.

And if they somehow forgot to include the necessary traffic connections in requirements for giving the permission to build the stadium, then I can assure you that the state is able to pay for a hundred grand for simple infrastructure.

When will the pedestrian bridge be ready?

No, and that's precisely why sports venues are not built in middle of Autobahns.

Germans would not go to that sports venue because it would be illegal to walk outside.
