  • This would be a good solution if they were accessible. However where I live EVS cost too much for anyone unless you are far out stripping the median income, as an example the last comprehensive study put Atlantic Canada where I live at a median income of $32,175, even the cheapest electric cars run ~$55,000, used EVS exist and are more affordably priced but often need expensive battery replacements, and are an extremely short supply.

    Municipal policy makes bikes share the road, with most of the interconnecting roads being strodes which makes biking just suicide with extra steps, I actually did try to ride a bike but a few too many close calls made me stop.

    I used the bus here for 7 years while I went to school, however as a means of transportation for employment it is just a non-option, it is neither widespread enough, nor does it run often enough.

    I’m not trying to shoot down solutions just after being in the situation for so long ICE cars are the only accessible and dependable mode of transportation in this city. And believe me I have been trying my hardest to find alternative ways and to fight the battle for better transit but as of right now I can guarantee you that all it has done is add thousands of ICE cars to the road.














  • There’s always going to be important issues that are going to be difficult to debate without some level of emotion, especially when talking about politics or the environment, you have to remember that this personally affects people’s lives.

    However it can get overwhelming and it’s important that you have the self-awareness to know when you need to step away.

    I know it’s easy to judge the Internet by its worst actors but you have to remember that everyone needs to learn and be part of the discourse it’s not just the internet, that’s humanity.
