what other modes of transit Texas. WHAT OTHER MODES. YOU DIDNT BUILD ANY
Dow chemical is located in Lake Jackson, TX and probably out-pollutes all the passenger cars in TX
Not to mention the ship channel, oil refineries, coal burning, petrochemical plants, and so many other high pollution industries. But sure, blame the citizens.
Also, if you want citizens to use their cars less, invest more in public transit (TX has none)
TX has none
Huh?
I visited Dallas for the total solar eclipse. I got everywhere I needed using their DART train system.
DART rail is fine if you live near a station. The vast majority of people do not. The rail lines are alright, but the bus system is laughably bad, so getting to and from a station is often an extra hour or two just to go a few miles.
And that’s if they even serve your area. My daily commute isn’t possible via public transit, because there are no busses or trains that go anywhere near where I live. Like if I look up my commute on Google Maps, the “Bus/Train” option is just entirely greyed out.
The vast majority of people in the DFW area do not live on a dart line, and drive to commute
DART is a joke unless you live nearby and their network is small compared to the size of the city
Havent been to Dallas in a while, so ill take your word on that one.
Don’t. It’s a train, it’s literally impossible for it to service an entire city. Unless you live within walking distance, without some way to get to the train it essentially doesn’t exist. Same situation if you live on a line, but the place you’re going isn’t within walking distance.
“There is a train” will never be enough. You also need bus routes to handle “last mile delivery” so to speak, and even then the closest stop may not be within walking distance.
Won’t you please think of the shareholders?
Wonder when the Texas government will start suggesting people migrate north for the summer because Texas is uninhabitable for humans.
But don’t worry, folks, climate change isn’t real.
It would be a marked improvement if Texas started suddenly caring about uninhabitability. The rich will simply get better generators and let the heat waves and downed power grid cull the masses.
Can’t stay rich without people to buy your shit. Genuinely don’t understand how they don’t realize that. If the middle and lower class dies, so does their income stream. And even besides that, if all that’s left are rich folks because everyone else either cooked to death or left the area, being “rich” loses meaning because you’re now all on an even economic playing field. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is a killer metaphor - as in, anyone left with a bigger cash stash than you becomes the de facto upper class and you do not.
If supporters of capitalism had foresight, they wouldn’t support capitalism
And Im asking for mass transit. I don’t think either of us are gonna get what we want
Well, better get started on my three hour walk to the grocery store…
I can ride my bike to work as its about 10k away, but it’s so damn hot im sure I’ll get heat exhaustion before I get there. In May there was a heat advisory and basically told people, unless you have to, stay indoors after 10. The only way to be outside is in the shade in front of a fan drinking something cold.
I cannot fathom living a three hour walk from a grocery store.
I live in a suburb myself, but I’m still <30 minutes walking distance to a grocery store. Only 10 minutes by bike.
If you live that far out, that’s both a failure of city design as well as personal choice.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Texas.
Ah my favorite time of year where Texas guilts me for using a service I paid for.
just sent your thermostat to 90, think of your neighbors
Sounds like socialism
Want to unpack that one for the class?
Considering the needs of others and suggesting behaviours that benefit the larger whole is often scoffed at in the United States. See: History.
Ah, fair enough, I missed the sarcasm. That’s on me.
Odd thing to request considering the conservatives in charge of Texas government deny that burning fossil fuels causes climate change.
Also odd because conservatives consistently defund public transport. In many parts of the state, there aren’t even sidewalks so you’re forced to either walk through the grass (potentially impossible if it’s overgrown or fenced) or in the middle of the street.
You’re not wrong but the subject of the article is smog
And? These are the same people who roll coal to own the libs
Wait wait wait, climate change is fake! Why would not driving do anything? I’m gonna double down and idle my RV and hummer and spare cruise ship burning bunker fuel in my driveway!
Hope it’s obvious, but /s just in case
