Not guaranteed, but I wanna try it. New at this modding stuff.
Also I’ll DM you the bonus episodes if you ask me here
Hello yes, WTYP is the best podcast with slides on the Internet. This is not a question but a statement.
Where else can one hear about pneumatic tubes full of horse viscera? Nowhere, that’s what.
Is Liam still scared of fish
please recommend a wtyp episode where they immediately jump into the problem/topic the last two episodes I tried killed me because I got 20-30 minutes in and they were still joking around about nothing :sadness-abysmal:
Joking around about nothing is basically part of their brand at this point, don’t know how much I can help you when it’s one of my favorite parts of the show.
look for single hour-ish runtimes? they’re inevitably gonna dick around but shorter total time usually means they’re more on topic
I kind of like that part because it’s usually the last happy moment of the episode. Things are fun and lighthearted until Rozniak suddenly says the darkest thing he can say, which is when he suddenly gives you the precise date, hour and minute of something.
Because that’s when people start dying.
And after that things do not become lighthearted again.
Sorry if this is too big of a question, but its one we need to answer and I don’t have a fucking clue:
California is fucked. The last century of development is built around personal automobiles. Millions living in exurbs of course, but also so much of the basic infrastructure assumes you can drive. Parking spaces are more of a concern to citygoers than housing poor people.
So how do we convert the (currently unsustainable both economically and environmentally) urban sprawl into something better? Even if you tore down the 405 and made it a train, the basic layout of entire cities (arguably entire counties) would make train travel less practical. I want fully automated train communism, but I have no idea what the first step would be. Say I am a socialist mayor of a US city, what should my first steps be to make transportation democratic?
Step 1: More bus service. 15 minutes or less on every major arterial
Step 2: Bus lanes. Spray paint them in at night if you have to and enforce them with cameras or Austin Red Guard
Step 3: Single-family zoning? It’s done for folks.
Step 4: Public housing right next to all of the major transit corridors
Step 5: If your city is large enough for rapid transit, do that. If not, all your main bus routes should be made trolleybus routes.
Step 6: Congestion charge. Yeah, it’s a bit neolib, but use that money to expand the transit network.
Thank you for the concise and direct answer.
What do you mean by single-family zoning and rapid transit. It sounds like the latter is a highway/tollway? I am not actually a socialist mayor and idk shit.
