What's RH in this context?

I bought a refurbished old laser brother 5 years ago and it's a tank. I'd go that route again personally

The worst part is that parking lot is probably mandatory per city regulations. We should abolish parking mandates country wide! (and you can help too, see https://parkingreform.org/)

Native plants ftw! Did anyone look into pocket forests too? I'll try to pitch it on my next community meeting

Most cities are regulated to prevent more housing being built. You should definitely read on the works of Strong Towns, and similar groups, and how you can help change the landscape of your city

Their website is great and has a ton of details https://www.strongtowns.org/

Sometimes it's not even direct violence, redlining is sufficient to keep you stuck where they want you to be

Decentralization is key

Oh, I agree that mass transit wouldn't really work in areas that aren't as dense, but we should definitely have those where possible. I didn't mean to say we don't need good car options, but we should also have more options besides just cars

Now regarding bikes and winter, I'd say that's more of an infrastructure problem. Finland also has terrible winter, yet they can bike as usual. You should watch this video if you are interested in this theme: "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)"

I have a better alternative: invest in viable alternatives to driving! expand protected bike lanes, build the damn high speed rail, more trains, trams and bus lines. One more asphalt lane for cars wont solve traffic problems :)
