What would be the impact of just banning cars from the roads every Sunday, and letting people freely ride their bikes, walk down the roads, letting children play in the street?Emergency vehicles would be exempt obviously.I am not really anti-car, but surely 6/7 days of cars completely dominating the streets is enough?
>>2080538Why would emergency vehicles be exemptGo all in
>>2080538https://www.merida.gob.mx/biciruta/
Nah i think it would be the same cancer as BIKE LANES all the slow gay retards would flood the place and if you dared to ride your bike on a day that wasn’t Sunday you’d be screeched atFuck thatFuck bike lanes fuck some imaginary no car day
>>2080538From "the roads", what roads would you want to close? A major thoroughfare? A side street downtown? How would you account for people who live or work in the area? What would be the alternative route?

>>2080552It would be all roads ideallyPeople would be able to walk, cycle or take the train to get to placesFor those people who insist they "need" car to buy groceries etc. and refuse to walk, they would be able to do that on any of the other 6 days a weekI think Sunday should be a day of rest and recovery and ideally most people would not be working, but there are some jobs like hospital staff and utility workers that would obviously need to keep working so perhaps only enforcing car-free roads between 9am-5pm between commuting hours would have to be the compromiseThe benefits would be that everyone gets a day without pollution and road noise, children can go out and play in the street, you are free to walk or cycle wherever you like without worrying about cars, people can host dinner parties and community events in the street. People would also get healthier as they would need to walk or cycle places, and mental health would improve as people would get out and meet with their neighbours more, children from the street could play together.
>>2080565>only enforcing car-free roads between 9am-5pm between commuting hours would have to be the compromiseYou wouldn't be able to enforce it anyway, the city's just too big and there's not enough police. Limited events because they can assign an officer to a handful of blocks. Reality would be is it wouldn't work at all.>would be extremely unpopular in even progressive cities>would make working that day impossible for many people>lack of truck traffic would mean there's issues with supply on the rest of the week>it's not a "compromise" if the other side gets nothing, "less bullshit" isn't a compromise
Long story short:Wielding the states power to impose yourself onto others is no less degenerate than motoring. >>2080565>trainMotorist detectedThis thread is actually part of the motorist conspiracy
>>2080570If people were on board with the idea then it would just be socially enforced. Any car driving would immediately stand out, and there wouldn't really be anywhere you could drive anyway because all the roads would be full of people walking, cycling, or children playing.There's currently not enough police to stop you from parking in front of people's driveways, driving down footpaths etc. but all of that is socially enforced.>the other side gets nothingWell the "other side" gets 6/7 days to drive their cars and then a whole day where they can let their children freely play outside, where they can enjoy walking and riding their bikes, where they can connect with their neighbours.I don't really think it's an us vs theme thing either. I am posting this as someone who drives a car, but I don't need to drive my car 7 days a week. I think "nobody speaks to their neighbours any more" and "kids don't play outside anymore" and "there's no space for me to safely ride my bike" are modern problems people actually care about whereas "working 6 days isn't enough, I wish I could work 7" probably isn't.
>>2080575>Any car driving would immediately stand out, and there wouldn't really be anywhere you could drive anyway because all the roads would be full of people walking, cycling, or children playing.Yeah, but even a lot of these "car-free days" don't last for long because the gimmick goes away after a while. "Social enforcement" would mean nothing if that's not the will of the people.>Well the "other side" getsThat's not what a compromise is. Let's say a mayor of absolute control took over your city and instituted a total ban on cycling. Obviously, there would be protests, and the mayor agrees that there should be one day a month when cycling is permitted. The mayor's office pats themselves on the back for making a "compromise". That's bullshit, but that's the same sort of "compromise" you're talking about here.>I think "nobody speaks to their neighbours any more" and "kids don't play outside anymore" and "there's no space for me to safely ride my bike" are modern problems people actually care aboutI think that those problems run a lot deeper than just "cars did this". Why not just cut Internet or electricity? After all, even "Bowling Alone" put the blame on TV more than suburbanization.>I don't need to drive my car 7 days a weekMany people go to work five days, do errands on the weekend, and attend some sort of religious institution on the other day of the weekend.>"working 6 days isn't enough, I wish I could work 7" probably isn't.People work on off days so that the world can function. Someone's going to have work Saturday for grocery shopping, someone's going to have to work holidays, someone's going to have to work nights.
>>2080538We should just legalize hitting cyclists and driving over then crushing them into goo on some other days, the social discourse would improve a hundredfold.
>>2080578>2c00l2b3dgy
>>2080578
>>2080585>look at how he recoils, how hurt he is
>>2080636Yeah you're right, should be perfectly legal to pull up beside you, put a round through you, and speed off with this logic of yours. Imagine how the social discourse would improve a hundredfold with less yous around for us to deal with.
>>2080681>should be perfectly legal to pull up beside you, put a round through you, and speed off with this logic of yoursI've only reflected what you demanded in OP back at you, yet see how angry and defensive you instantly became.Only more reason to drive at full speed into you when there is an opportunity.
>>2080685>I've only reflected what you demanded in OP back at you>only letting me drive around in my cage 6 days a week instead of 7 is LITERALLY like killing mejfc
>>2080690Bro you are so fucking retarded it's insane. There are 52 weeks in a year. Imagine literally cutting the GDP by 52% just because some retarded lycra clad unemployed non says you're not allowed to drive one day a week anymore.
>>2080695>profit loss is equal to murder yeah, someone in this thread is retarded, alright, but it ain't him, bootlicker
>>2080703The DOW is over 50k.
>>2080703>>profit loss is equal to murder
>>2080685>look how angry you are ahahhahahahai'm agreeing with the other guy, world would be much better off with less morons like you breathing.
>>2080538>I am not really anti-car>but also I am anti-carGo be retarded somewhere else. Idiots like you think everyone on the planet lives exactly like you. I live in the countryside. Just walking to the edge of town would take an hour or more. It's a quick drive though. Go be a faggot on plebbit.
>>2080585>>2080681seething bikenigger
>>2080715i accept your concession.
>>2080713>wojakpostinglook at how she recoils, how hurt she is
>>2080690>only letting me drive around in my cage 6 days a week instead of 7>deciding that you're not allowed to drive once a week because some tranny cucklist hurt his feelings on that specific day is not worth killing the tranny foryou should be put in a real cage and euthanized like the disgusting freak you are regardless.
>>2080714An hour is nothing back in my day before there was even cars buses and bikes and only the rich has horses we used to walk 2 hours into town to work hard labor with us steel for 8 hours then a 2 hours walk back
>>2080714 Daily reminder that most cagers own a cage just because transit sucks where they need to go, Either way , if you are defending a product that was lobbied to us at the expense of life quallity is beyond insane.
>>2080714Why do retards like you purposefully and intentionally buy houses miles away from everyone and then act like it's a curse the universe has bestowed on you and it's everyone's problem but yourselfExact same energy as the>dude don't you know how LONG my commute is???people who's commute is determined solely by two factors: a house they chose to buy and a job they chose to apply for.Look how angry you're getting in your post over a decision you made yourself.
>>2080727>coping hardlook how much "she" tries to cover up being angry
>>2080854>purposefully and intentionally buy houses miles away from everyonebecause who the fuck wants to live next door to niggers inside a shithole city. you would do the same thing in a heartbeat if the opportunity arrived.
>>2080884ok. so then don't complain that your commute is long. you did it to yourself on purpose.
>>2080887has it ever occurred to you that the real reason behind long commutes is because other people can't drive for shit?
>>2080740>just because transit sucksyeah, inherently so
>>2080740>Either way , if you are defending a product that was lobbied to us at the expense of life quallity is beyond insane.Zero self awareness displayed, as always.
>>2080570start shooting anyone who gets in their carthey'll stop trying pretty quick
>>2080570>the other side gets nothingstatus quo bias. the other side already gets to use all roads all the time. moving 1/7 of the week to the opposing side means you are left with 6/7.
>>2080907then they start to shoot back and we arrive to the final solution to the cyclist question
>>2080911imagine being out shot
>>2080908you are allowed to live without being beaten and tortured like the worthless communist scum you are. this is an extremely unjust status quo bias and i think we should even stakes out by cutting off both of your legs and kicking you into the streets, just to make things mroe fair. you're still left with your disgusting life, eyes and arms to crawl around so it's all good.
>>2080912yeah, imagine all the 3 non antigun tranny cyclists taking fire from the entire remaining society they're rebelling against.
>>2080913>>2080914i just won two arguments simultaneously
>>2080916tell your mom it calls for double tendie portion today
>>2080914imagine the only supporting thing to your retarded argument is trannies
>>2080740I walk or take public transport the majority of the time but own a car just for when I need to drive over to one of my friends houses and public transit would either take twice or long or doesn't run late enough at night for me to get back.A rather annoying part of car ownership (that nobody tells you until you buy one) is that the car battery slowly drains over time so you are forced to go for a drive once a week just to keep the car alive. It also needs to be a longish drive to charge the battery up enough, and short trips cause your engine and oil to build up condensation so you have to drive for long enough to get the engine up to a hot temperature as well, around 20 minutes.I love having a car when I need it, but it is quite annoying that I only need to use it once or twice a month but am basically forced to put it on the road for half an hour each week.
>>2080963>Annoying part of car ownership is that the car battery slowly drains over time so you are forced to go for a drive once a week just to keep the car alive.Use a battery tender.
>>2080538I pay taxes to pave the roads so I'm going to use them whenever the fuck I feel like it, if you want to be car free go to a park and let your kids run/bike around it.>N-no but I'm entitled to the streetWrong, goodbye.
>>2080928yea, horrible time to be a cycling advocate
>>2080972nah, you'll use em when we say you get to use them. :)
>>2080988>wenobody cares what some unemployed underage loser wants
Go for it! Give your car a rest.
>>2080544There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.Though a positive being, seeing less disgusting 600lb bi-pedal whales waddling around in public
>>2080544Have to agree with this. Imagine trying to go for a ride, maintain 16mph average for a good workout. But everywhere you go, both sides of the road are clogged full of other cyclists who never rode a bike in 10+ years and go no faster than jogging speed, and people road raging like always.
>>2080538honestly with modern electric assist bikes the lines are so blurry that unless you made it truly pedestrian only, people would cheat. and with modern cities, aint nobody wanna walk 25km to the parkade just to walk around some more because its a defacto holiday and all the places to actually hang out are packed
>>2080538Makes it impossible for people to return home from weekend trips. So no.
