This is actually backed by research.

If a significant amount of people live in their cars, it means that the housing market and the wages are seriously out of whack, and the government has not been doing their job for the last decades.

Part of the issue here is that if you own a car, it’s often cheaper to take the car than public transport, because most of the car expenses are paid independent of the immediate usage.

Car value deprecation, taxes, maintainance, all of that cost you money no matter whether you drive into town today or use some other means of transport.

I think it would be much better to put all taxes onto the fuel price. If you pay €5 for a litre of fuel, instead of the ~€1.5/l that we are currently paying, it would make more sense to take public transport some times.

Don’t forget that even if you have a lawn and a few trees/flowers on your single-family home backyard, that area is mostly dead to nature.

So spreading the suburbs out that much means that much more nature will be destroyed.

Sure they can. I’ve been doing that for quite a few years until climate change warmed my city up so much that snow and ice don’t really happen anymore.

And if you’d plonk down that solar panel onto a roof where it catches much more sunlight, it would be able to produce even more electricity!

Well, they don’t want a mobile Linux. This is going to be a minimalist, locked-down distro that does nothing more than start a webrenderer.

Nobody’s gonna see the underlying Linux system.

It’s kinda like how my car entertainment system is running Linux. You wouldn’t know it if you don’t read the license file that comes with it.

I thought the /s should have been enough to tell everyone that this was a joke, but apparently not.
