I think Jane Jacobs talked about this in like the 1960s. People in cars are less likely to stop and shop. If you’re on foot (or a bike) it’s a lot easier to stop and pop into an interesting shop. If you’re zooming by at 45mph, or stuck in traffic with nowhere to park, you’re less likely to see if that bookshop has something interesting

jjjalljs@ttrpg.networkto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•New York City got a new subway/metro map3·4 months agoI guess it’s fine. Not sure how useful it would be for gauging how apart subways are, like if I need to get to the G from the Q.
The new one makes it look like they intercept, but they don’t.
jjjalljs@ttrpg.networkto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.English41·4 months agoThere’s a shared theme with like all of humanity’s woes: people don’t care that much.
From pollution to injustice to shitty websites, if people cared just a little more the problem would be dramatically reduced or even eliminated.
But so many people are just apathetic. Overwhelmed and checked out.
I wonder if things get bad enough, Ukraine would take a shot at Trump. Back to the wall and all.
We could all decide to just like… take their wealth. There’s no ref that’s going to call time out.
Capitalism leads to bad outcomes like this, yep.
