My stupid solution to tall hood pedestrian deaths in c/fuckcars@lemmy.ca

That the third row is front facing. Ain't nobody buying a wagon with a rear facing third row.

Minivan hoods are sort of tall.

My stupid solution to tall hood pedestrian deaths (lemmy.ca)
 

Alot of this is caused by people buying tall suvs because they need 3 rows for all their kids. Here is a dumb idea.

Bring back front facing 3rd row wagons. Front facing 3rd row wagons are rare, only offered by GM in the 70s but they were so popular.

Bring these back and tax SUVs by hood height. Families will buy wagons again.

From facing 3 row wagons are rarer, GM only ;)

Depends who's the arbiter of truth. Still propaganda

More people seem to be choosing child free living because of the state of the world and economy rn. I don't blame them.

Articles, essays, or studies on the effect of car centric planning and social detachment? (lemmy.ca)
 

Hi everybody.

I'm sorry if my question is really weirdly specific. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time.

You ever see those movies, where people live in this techno-future dystopia, skyscrapers and traffic clogged freeways, car - centric urban planning with no greenery, no trees, think of like Times Square NYC, hyper capitalist neolib dystopia kind of thing.

You see in those movies, the main character (a socially detached loner) depressed, part of the reason is not just a horribly atomized and superficial Society, but the other reason is the wretched urban planning and brutalist architecture.

I think there's been a few articles already on the importance of good architecture for creating a more "communal" mental effect for the people in the town.

I'm wondering if you guys found any articles or essays on the importance of specifically good urban planning (I already read about architecture). Stuff about how car centric urban planning atomizes the individual, ruins the social fabric, ruins the communal mentality, etc.. Sociological stuff.

If you do, please comment. I'd love to read.
