Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services. I wish more parking-obsessed retailers & elected officials understood this. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness

An event is not "zero waste" if you can only get to it by driving.

We designed places so that only cars function in them, which is like designing kitchens so that only Cuisinarts function in them. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness

A drama in four acts: 1. Pull up to intersection, signal right turn 2. Watch for break in traffic on left, gun it 3. "She came out of nowhere, Officer!" 4. No charges were filed #CarBlindness

As I often say, Boomers cannot imagine life without their cars at their sides at all times. Worst generational character flaw. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness usa.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/s...

Local councillor thinks it is a prioirty to block a small footpath with bollards to slow down cyclists. Cars and huge lorries illegally blocking a busy junction... Who cares. #carblindness #lorryblindness #Oxford #Marston

If your primary experience of the world is via private automobile, then everyone you encounter is an irritation, impediment, rival, or threat. This is why social bonds are so weak in America.

@thomas_verkehrt, #carblindness – und zwar im weiteren Sinne auch hinsichtlich Lärm und weiterer Externalitäten von Autos – erstaunt mich immer wieder, besonders wenn sie von Nicht-Autofahrern kommt.

Frage mich wie viele Menschen hier durchlaufen und die Fahrräder als das Problem sehen. #Carblindness

Aber im Ernst, wie man entscheiden kann, dass das ein guter Ort ist, um Autos abzustellen, ist mir wirklich schleierhaft.

Und jetzt den Thread noch mal lesen und dabei eScooter durch Auto ersetzen und sich fragen, was sinnvoller klingt.
