  1. Why not just break away and form your own country, then?

  3. Sounds good to me.

  4. So they work in other countries but not in the US? Weird.

  5. There's nothing in downtown Houston. I was there a few times and it always seemed like something from a zombie movie after humanity had died off.

  6. It's not unconstitutional. And the mortgage credit is a giveaway.

  7. The states are just as dysfunctional. And less likely to actually spend money than the feds.

  8. A lot of suburbs are pretty dangerous.

  9. The trees mean its environmentally friendly.

  10. Or they could weld the track together (CWR) so it doesn't clack as much.

  11. Their management often tells them to do this because they get more business through the drive-through.

  12.  @KuK137  Exactly. Cars are the only option. We need cars!

  13.  @TheGreatAtario  Yep. Clout-seeking. Virtue-signalling's frateral twin.

  14. Nah, let's legislate the suburbs out of existence with upzoning.

  15. Hopefully, the suburbs will stay as they are. We need more low-density development, more highways, and bigger houses. Fortunately, the earth has nearly unlimited resources.

  16. I would say that there's a lot of variation between different lifestyle centers. Around Washington, DC, some of these are indeed just outdoor malls (Fairfax Corner), others are trying to be something more like an actual main street (Downtown Silver Spring, Mosaic District), with some falling in-between (Reston Town Center). They’re all fairly car-oriented though with tons of parking, though in the last three I mentioned it’s done using parking garages instead of giant surface lots. Silver Spring has metro subway access, and Reston Town Center will be getting metro soon. Fairfax Corner may have it sometime in the more distant future if the orange line metro is extended. All of these developments have some residential units (usually fairly pricey ones) and not a ton of street life, with the possible exception of Silver Spring (which, when compared with the other three, is fairly close to the actual old main street of Silver Spring instead of being in a greenfields location.). I think the potential exists for these areas to grow beyond what they are now and become something more like organic main street communities, especially if more residential is incorporated and the initial developer decides to divest from property management at some point.

  17. Some of them will become EV charging stations, some will continue to sell gas alongside being EV charging stations since I can't see the last ICE vehicle going out of service (at least in the US) before the 2050s, and some of them be converted to other uses; convenience stores, eateries, other businesses. In urban areas, their locations would be prime locations for new subway station entrances.

  18. More room to be a human down here.

  19. Unimpeachable logic from start to finish.

  20. It has more to do with price.
