@notgold The classic second stage of the Car Ponzi scheme. They make a big list of the problems that cars created, ascribe them to population growth and then double down on cars as the solution.

1·hace 9 meses@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars ah, good point.
I grew up in Collingwood, Melbourne and all of these things were within 20mins walk from my house.
I’m on the other side of Melbourne now (Footscray) and the only thing I’m not walking distance from is ‘sports arena’…unless you count horse racing.
112·hace 9 meses@TootSweet @ajsadauskas They’ll just completely rewrite it from scratch using a newer LLM and that will be considered normal. In those 5yrs the percentage of developers who remember the idea of code having longevity will be tiny.
1·hace 1 año@pathief @ProdigalFrog it’s just physically not possible to build enough parking for everyone to always have a park. You have trouble finding a park because that’s just the physical reality. Adding more parking (like adding more lanes) doesn’t increase availability because of induced demand and the inherent inefficiency of cars.
Reducing parking won’t reduce the parking available to you. Just as reducing the number of car lanes won’t reduce your ability to drive places.
@notgold yeah, it’s so easy to see it was bad with hindsight. But it also should have been easy to see at the time with some simple maths.
