We know how to fix this...
Increase Urban density around new suburban "nodes" Make those nodes walkable 15 minute citties. Link nodes to other nodes with mass transit and bike lanes.
@DarKnight0 @Tak
Yep.

Yeh. The 16% who voted no for a grocery store probably voted no for everything else, too.
@Rediphile @CableMonster
Yes those too!
There is probably some scientific way to do this. Measure the impact on roads, society, other road users and the environment. and tax the vehicles with the worst impact more.
@CableMonster
Thanks.
You can probably see where I am going with this.
There is a big difference between a smaller practice work truck and a giant monster truck.
The aim of any taxes should be to discourage certain trucks and encourage others.
@CableMonster @anothercatgirl
Just out of curiosity, what sort of truck do you drive?
@LarmyOfLone
Big apartment blocks are less energy efficient, so I don't think they are the solution.

It's why I loved living right in the city, as a young man.

When buying a car, you have a wide choice of shitty corporations to purchase from.

Has anyone done a true cost analysis of cars?
All the external costs incling health, environment, climate change, Middle East Wars, Police...

We want them to stop drilling for more oil.
Throwing 1% of their profits on Lithium mining, while continuing to increase their emissions isn't really a win.

Why is everyone so cynical here?
I am sure if we build just one more tunnel, everything will be fixed this time. 😜
