@chiliedogg @daltotron Yes, they have swallowed a lot of lies. A lot needs to change.

@Maggoty @UnderpantsWeevil Melbourne is slowly on it's journey to banning cars in the CBD. I wish we'd do it with a timeline with less decades in it, but each step towards it is good.
So far 2 of 21 pieces of street have been made car free.

@Olgratin_Magmatoe @kurwa I wouldn't go that far. Just because every step is wrong, doesn't make the thought process that weird.
I'm saying we should have compassion for their misunderstanding. The conclusion is wrong, but the path to get there isn't that hard. Particularly when you've been raised in that paradigm (or raised watching media that shows it as the ideal).

@Username @HiddenLayer555 no, the store will just have local customers. And yes there are plenty of those when you can replace the carpark with apartments.

@Alsephina @Juice Isn't their bigger problem having too many unfinished apartments? Many more than are needed.
(And are those rates including those who own apartments that will never be completed?)

@davel Air travel is also demanding on:
* Road infrastructure for the airport, trains deliver people closer to where they want in the first place and the connect better to the rest of the PT system.
* Land use. Airports are huge.
* Airports also cost a lot, factoring them into the price of moving people around is important, frequently this is paid for the state.
* Noisy in ways that just can't be mitigated.
It really isn't a good option.

@dexa_scantron @Never_Daunted park benches that face the shared path, encouraging people to sit and play fetch across the path....

@davel @elgordino the viability is: how do we let people move around the country, what is the cheapest way.
This is cheap.
It's also cheap everywhere else.
And by cheap I mean cheaper than alternatives.

@cm0002 @ByteOnBikes yes, but the idea that EV's solve things makes people think it is okay to not be all in on PT.
And it's not okay.

@spankmonkey @PonyOfWar I caught a public bus to high school. To get an extra 20m of sleep I caught the one that didn't go into the school and stopped on the wrong side of the road 1m before school started. To not be late we'd all walk out across the 4 lane road without looking. Cars will just stop.
After someone was rear ended the stop was removed.

@avidamoeba My gravel bike is steel. Steel is a good material to make bikes from. That is bikes intended to be used and repaired.
[@fuck\_cars](https://lemmy.ml/c/fuck_cars) Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a [\#AusPol](https://floss.social/tags/AusPol) [#eBikes](https://floss.social/tags/eBikes)
