It seemed extremely suspicious to me at the time they required councils to do ltns or lose funding.
Even with all that has happened I still find it easier to believe different people in government had different goals, but I can't disagree it looks a lot like forcing councils to do something they can use to mobilise their base.
Oh dear did they realise they'd already signed up to 15 minute cities before using the term in the culture war?
Oh I see it's grown in their precious bodily fluids
Although for many countries in Asia it would have a much easier time invading by driving tanks along the new road
I've never even seen an 18 wheeler in UK much less in london
And their logistics runs off trains so they have a giant problem when invading others, only same gauge can be used reliably and rail stations are a huge target
I'll quote the main bit, standard problems and he's not wrong about the solutions. Why should London residents put up with rich out of London drivers polluting where they live? There is a tube and train already. Cutting down the number of routes for through traffic and turning the old roads into parks would be great. And exactly what is already happening in places with ltns
"He cited a north London councillor who described traffic as an “invasive species” that “swamps all other types of transport”. Up to 80 per cent of people living on arterial routes in urban areas did not own cars, with most of the pollution being caused by motorists driving into and through their communities.
Pointing to the “greening” of city centres such as Seoul and Utrecht, he said: “We should start changing our cities and actually start thinking about ripping out road infrastructure and turning them into green spaces or green transport corridors. We have to look beyond traffic.”
This needed to be combined with a drive to get people out of their cars and into walking, cycling and using public transport, which would not only help tackle climate change but also improve health and so reduce pressures on the NHS."
Fuck_cars on Lemmy is great, I feel like I'm really fighting for the future every time I come here.
On Reddit it was just people trying to out meme each other
I can boycott regatta and American prison made licence plates at the same time. I have many other talents besides.
And if sdv expanded isn't enough there are two other big ones, ridgeside village and east scarp
Absolutely ridiculous numbers of npcs and story. Just watch out as not all farm layout mods will be compatible with everything.
No that deal is helping them. It was having parties while no one was allowed to meet in COVID. Giving away money to mates for PPE that didn't work. Truss having 30 days in power and making the economy even worse. Massive inflation.
