Traffic Cameras can and do reduce speeding if implemented properly
Narrowing roads and making them less straight also lowers speeding
Where are you getting this 5% number?
Unpopular opinion, I agree.

It'll prob get him votes depressingly, so I guess he's not wrong to do so
But it's a shame that we've let the auto industry brainwash so many people into thinking bigger and bigger car infrastructure is the only solution
Dude's banking on getting votes from people who don't know how traffic works
Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn't possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.
Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.
And aside from politics, cafe's a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.
Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.
You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.
We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.
lol what a silly statement.
I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.
If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)
Why does Molly tend to always run as a background service when Signal didn't? Doesn't seem to use much more battery so I guess it's no biggy, just curious
Left Samsung due to poor battery to Pixel, which was an upgrade but the Fold is a big step ahead again.
Will post Pixel 7 Pro in comments for context
