Less hostile when in context.

No, because there aren’t any businesses which pay a livable wage within walking distance of 98% of Americans. yay logic!

And in 80 years we might get the report from the committee about the proposal to create a committee to study the feasibility of possibly allowing four story homes.

Oh, wait, no, some NIMBY killed it.

They’re agreeing with y’all tho?

“Yay logic!” means they think it’s dumb logic.

True but this really has little to do with the excessive noise issues. Really easy to build quieter cars, we just let assholes choose how loud they want to be and the results are predictable.

Cars are already subject to noise restrictions. So effectively loud cars are banned. There is just little enforcement for most of it.

What does it matter if they aren’t enforceable?

Let’s refocus the police funds of shooting or falsely arresting POC, and instead ticketing and enforcing the loud car situation.

Who needs cops? I believe CA passed a bill to trial automatic enforcement of this issue last year. Detects excessive noise and photographs the license plates just like speed cameras.

I’m waiting to see where they will trial it. I haven’t heard anything recently.

Agreed. Take 90+% of their funding, and use it for preventative measures instead.

Our po-po don’t shoot POC (generally) but we still have loud cars.

I know what I’m saying is not objective data, but where I live I hear a ton of motorcycles that are tweaked to remove the silencers and noise protections

You guys lump motorcycles in on this, right? There’s some biker rally/meetup relatively close by this week/weekend, so I’m busy giving the finger to every asshole that passes with their stupid straight-pipe harleys and dumb shitty radios screaming skynard or AC/DC.

I drive an EV, fwiw. There’s literally zero public transportation here, so I’m not on the fuckcars train, sorry.

You can have a car and still want to fuck cars… wait no… and still be fuckcars. I do, and I’m mad I need one at all without losing hours a day.

Fuckcars is not necessarily about not having a car. It’s about wanting the conditions in which you’re able to get rid of your car.

I’d argue fossil motorcycles should be banned before fossil cars. If it’s about riding with nothing between you and the ground, an electric MC will do plenty. Otherwise, cars serve the same need.

They’ve both gotta go. The order is not important to me as long as it’s soon.

I’m intending to get an electric bike, when I can. For me, nothing beats cruising down fire roads and a bit of single-track on a quiet vehicle.

My town has a “bike week” every few months it feels like, where all the people with their way too damn loud bikes get the privilege of blocking off half the city for a week to… I don’t even know?? Drink, I guess? Whatever the case, a major road becomes impassable and the entire city gets too loud to have a conversation on the sidewalk. It’s awful, god knows why the city thinks it’s a good idea. Ugh, now l’m annoyed again just thinking about it…

Driving an EV does not mean you don’t make noise, the noise is also mostly tires on the road above 30 km/h
