It is absolutely not intelligence, as it’s commonly marketed. It may seem intelligent to the uninformed, but boy howdy is that a mistake.

New York politician tells him to build less housing and more parkingEnglish2·9 days agoI honestly believe that’s absolutely the direction we should start moving in. It’s just going to be a tough sell on divorcing people from there cars, and hopefully an “if you build it they will come” approach works out.
bobs_monkey@lemmy.zipto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Developer wants build 60 apartments and 24 parking spots. New York politician tells him to build less housing and more parkingEnglish141·9 days agoThere has to be a way to incentivize tenants to forego cars for a project like this to succeed. I kind of understand the 1:1 ratio thing, because while I agree it’s ridiculous to cut housing units for parking spaces, the reality is that if there aren’t enough onsite parking sports for a given MDU, you’ll just have people clogging up city streets with overflow parking. Perhaps billing the building as carless or something and charging a premium for a parking spot to disincentivize car ownership?
You see this in major cities here in CA like LA or SF, where much housing was built and zoned before the surge in personal car ownership. Street parking is a nightmare, and neighborhoods are filled to the brim with people plopping their cars wherever they can. It has to be coordinated effort between residents and cities to help alleviate the situation. Even neighborhood vertical parking structures would help.
I bought one just for shits sometime in the 90s, it sure wasn’t the most reliable.

bobs_monkey@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Britain is Losing its Free Speech, and America Could be NextEnglish3·10 days agoI’d argue that’s more of a problem with media consolidation and not having some form of truth requirement in broadcast media. When only a handful of organizations own the majority of media outlets and aren’t held to account for their content, this is what we end up with and why we can’t have nice things.
