What does this even mean? Mordoe isn't even a fucking city you dumb bitch.

Evil Kyiv is just the left bank, it doesn't have anyplace to work at so everyone who lives there has to cross a bridge every day, which is pure suffering, according to multiple first-hand accounts i've heard.

easily my favorite viral tweet from recently

The Shopping Center Disconnect

[hmantegazzi]

If you swap the streetcar with old tube trains serving as commuter rail, you get the Isle of Wight in England.

Currently dreaming of a small island town where you live in a old victorian manor and can walk to all your needs

Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs.

Cars and Independence

My Patreon

Update: This comic has received a lot of both positive and negative attention, and I decided to post a follow-up comic to address some of the criticism: Revisiting Independence

[whereserpentswalk]

I have decided to become a walkablity extremist.

Cars should not be allowed in towns and cities at all. The only places where they should be at all present is in rural areas where any other means of transportation should be impossible.

High speed rail networks should allow for a trip from Mexico city to Montreal in under 24 hours.

All public transportation should be 100% free.

Lawns should not exist.

It doesn't make sense for single family homes to be built in most American cities.

Architecture must be beautiful again.

Every commercial street should have at least one bench.

Public restrooms must be free, common and accessible.

The pigeons are not enemies. The pigeons are freinds.
