    great. put them all underground.

    zephr_c,

    Then seal the ends.

    I mean, leave ladders to escape. I don’t want to murder people. I’d just like to bury all the cars is all.

    capr,

    And in effect still murder people by lowering their standard of living.

    Lapislazuli,

    Lowering the standard of living in that way is murder? That sounds a bit melodramatic. You’re probably even saving people since there are less traffic accidents.

    Also speak for yourself. For me, not having to drive means a better quality of life.

    Misconduct,

    Well, yeah. That’s why it would be nice to work on walkable infrastructure isn’t it? Because then we can reduce cars without lowering anyone’s quality of life. That’s the whole discussion.

    zephr_c,

    Holy crap, dude. Obviously I’m not actually literally suggesting we should just bury all cars with the people still inside them. Long term cars are actually terrible for standard of living, but there needs to be a rational transition and effective mass transit in place before we start getting rid of cars. It is stupidly, ridiculously obvious that no one in their right mind would actually want to bury people alive for doing the only things that work with our current terrible transit system.

    Maybe don’t just go around assuming everyone who says anything you don’t like is a monster in a medium famous for it’s lack of a serious tone?

    omgarm, in Was looking for the year in this and I guess I found it...?

    Rumor has it that 1984 was based on this documentary.

    Screwthehole,

    I can’t help imagine the hippies writing this like, yeah it’s called Google and we know it’s evil

    For real. This gives me hope for American cities

    jungekatz,

    Most americans are of the mindset that cars make us free and anything public transport bad ! I doubt if that will improve anytime soon !

    Look at all the people enjoying the waterfront now. It’s a beautiful sight to see.

    That place found its humanity again.

    I totally puked a litre of concentrated grape juice in that hot park in 1999.

    Guess whose German wasn’t nearly as awesome as they thought it was…

    The before reminds me of Portland. The waterfront is wasted with i5 and roads running through it.

    ZombieTheZombieCat,

    That’s how I feel about SoCal. I noticed on Google Maps a lot of homes are taking up the sea cliffs south of LA. I always thought that all coastline in CA was public…

    I can’t wait to see Seattle’s viaduct on here when the full parks, sidewalks, and bike lanes get finished!

    fmstrat, in Japan Still Has Ninjas — But They’re About to Go Extinct

    It wasn’t until the age of eighteen, when he was given access to the clan’s ancient scrolls, that Kawakami finally realized the purpose behind his decades of training

    Hmmmmm

    51,

    Training starts years before birth in the egg half of the eventual person

    For anyone who’s interested, Hatsumi-sensei’s school is called Bujinkan Taijutsu and is practised in Japan, the US, New Zealand and other places. It’s a serious self-defense style and students train without mats, because if you need it to defend yourself, you’ll probably be on concrete. It comprises kicks, punches, throws, joint locks, weapons and poking opponents in the most painful nerves.

    You’d be surprised how hard it is to hit anything with a throwing star.

    Anticorp,

    I knew a guy who trained in ninjitsu in highschool. I trained in Kung Fu for a few years before I met him. We used to spar after school and he was ridiculously hard to fight. All of his moves were deceptive. Even simple kicks and blocks were meant to decieve. As a result I was constantly trying to predict his actual motive instead of just fighting him straight-up. It’s a really neat style that seems to be very effective against other trained martial artists. Idk how it would fare against an untrained street fighter, but I’d guess that it is just as effective in that situation too.

    Imgonnatrythis, in This banana was perfectly straight!

    Really kinda hoped all the banana stuff would have just stayed with reddit.

    FizzlePopBerryTwist,

    It sounds like you may be low on potassium.

    The Gardiner in Toronto desperately needs to be pulled down (before people die) and replaced with tunnels.

    The viaduct in Vancouver is being torn down but I don’t think they plan to build a tunnel. It’s the fastest way into downtown from East Van.

    The difference between these inevitable projects and Dusseldorf is that property value in Canadian cities is so insane that developers will likely push for the construction of biggest types yet in these cities.

    I’d say riverfront land in Düsseldorf has developers drooling also. It all comes down to will, and / or corruption

    why the quotation marks?

    thorbot,

    Rage bait

    xintrik,

    Maybe it’s an art installation titled “Progress”

    electrogamerman,

    Maybe he meant the upper picture is “progress”
