so just as i finished writing the comment, i got a notification from one of the telegram channels I’m subscribed to that primarily writes about leftist urbanism, linking to the document outlining the budget allocation for 2022 in my city
guess what: it’s billions for for automobile road construction and maintenance/repair, and LITERALLY ZERO for bicycle infrastructure, like it’s literally zero, not a very small amount, but void, you can’t buy an ice cream for that sum
Oh no that’s so bad. I guess people still see car infrastructure as important for the local economy and don’t realize that with better public transit and better bike infrastructure the cars that want to go somewhere have more space.
Car infrastructure is horrible, doesn’t scale well and it’s so expensive… Cars alone are horribly expensive. Argh I understand you. Here in Berlin they are currently trying to build a highway in the middle of the city. Even the social democrat party is very pro car in Germany, we are fucked :(
Yeah but the next stage of them collecting signatures won’t start until mid 2022, so it’s going to take a while
Edit: I will help them, I think they have very good ideas. People objecting always say: “Isn’t it a bit extreme to ban all cars, what about deliveries or disabled people”, but they literally just allow them to go about their business. It’s funny since I read that objection so many times, but the crazy ban cars people have accounted for it…
