  • I assume this is about eliminating car parking requirements.

    What about changing the parking requirements to be vehicle agnostic? Require construction projects to have parking for X people, rather than X cars, and consider the requirement met if it’s a mix of bicycle parking, cargo bicycle parking, and car parking.

    Bicycle parking takes less space. So that’d be an incentive to deliver projets with more bicycle parking, and should help reduce housing cost.

    California may not be bicycle-friendly, but it has to start somewhere to be. A colleague of mine used to commute to work in that area using an electric bicycle, it helps cover more distance than a classic bicycle.


  • A well informed, technicality litterate, reasonable person wouldn’t.

    Many reasonable people start/keep using those products. All of this is somewhat obvious for tech hobbyist. Others may not be fully aware or the risk, or don’t consider they’re particularily at risk. The norm is to use those services and apps. There is strong peer pressure to use those service to stay connected with people and organisations.

    There’s a need for more or at least better education around being safe online, and protecting personal data. An education that’s free of big tech influence/sponsoring.
