In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Local big box HW store (but one of their smallest stores) has closed their front doors on main street Monday to Friday. You know the doors near all the nice footpath seating.
Car brains ruining everything, and particularly main street.
Time for a letter to the council.
Look, I'm 41 and have chosen to have never even had a drivers liscense. I'm the most fuck cars kinda guy you can get.
This is a stretch. "CARS ARE RUINING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE STORES USE DIFFERENT SET OF DOORS DURING THE WEEK!"
C'mon man. Cars cause cancer. Theres drunk drivers. There's text and drivers. Distracted drivers. Idiot drivers. There's global pollution. There's wars fought over oil to power cars. There's planned economic blight as cities are designed to keep nondrivers seen as low class. Like they can't afford to drive, or they had their liscense suspended, and thus should be looked down on, and not given career opertunities. Thus being forced into low income neighborhoods.
All that to chose from for why fuck cars......and you went with "I have to enter from the other side of the store now"???
Meanwhile i'm 43 and have never been ABLE to drive because of vision issues, and moving the entryway in this manner essentially is a giant middle finger to me. 'Here we're shuttering the entryway that has nice safe walkable areas in and out and GO TO THE LOADING DOCK.'
A city that allows pedestrian-oriented entrances to be closed like this is an example of that.
