Less bike lanes
100% he's going to make that happen
and cheaper parking
0% he's going to make that happen
Free market, bitches! Prices. Only. Go. Up!
wait why would less bike lanes make anything cheaper?? it's just sectioning off a portion of the road?
You turn the bike lane into street parking. No idea how this makes things cheaper, but I guess the argument is two extra parking spots per block is going to make all the difference.
yeah some dude paying 7 bucks an hour while he picks up taco bell (idk the hourly rate for parking im not american) is gonna break profit records
Compare the percent of income required for seasonings and fresh fruits from around the world now vs 200 years ago.
That’s probably more of a function of our switch from consumption taxes to income tax.
THANK YOU.
(Obviously this doesn’t matter. Language evolves. And no one cared about this rule until the last 200 years or so. But my parents drilled this particular correction so firmly into my brain that it bothers me when others get it wrong. “Fewer in number, less in amount.” Similarly, “farther in distance, further in degree.” And you stand on a PODIUM, you speak from behind a LECTERN.)
(I might have some lexicographical trauma. 😅)
“Fewer” since they are countable.
ETA this is basic grammar and not something you can just take exception with because you feel like it. The responses I’m receiving are very odd.
Depends on if you're using water to include types of water (if, like a maniacal madman, you have mixed Evian, Buxton and Harrogate mineral water into one jug). Then 'i mixed fewer waters' or 'there are fewer waters in that glass' would be valid.
To be clear: I'm not the person you replied to, just someone who finds it quite interesting (in the same way that the plural fishes is valid if you're talking about different species of fish).
And yes, I know prescriptivism is bad, but also it is quite fun.
Those are homonyms. Water versus waters. The second one is metaphorical.
I did enjoy your comment and you sound like you’ve had some linguistic training.
Eh, you wouldn't use the noun water to refer to atoms of water. 'How many waters are there?' to refer to atoms of water is the statement of someone deranged
They are indeed... Where did the whole "if two bike lanes converge" question come from??
I was going to make the same joke.
"Fewer. I mean more. More bike lanes."
good news. car brained loser is sitting on 3.36%.
well funded campaign (assume oxford st small biz tyrants and paddington geriatrics), posters everywhere.

i wish this would be seen as a vindication for active transport... but we all know the anti bike blow hards wont miss a beat.
edit: big fucking lol. dont think they will get a single council seat.
After reading the title and seeing the black abyss in the eyes of the great-value Voldemort wannabe, I was scared for a moment that someone who was so openly hostile towards the safety of cyclists could win an election. It brings me great relief to know that is not the case.

love the no bullshit analysis naming the supporters specifically...
we should make politicians wear their sponsors on their suits like NASCAR drivers so folks know who they are allotting their tax money to lol
I guess regardless of country, people pushing shit like this can't seem to make a natural looking facial expression. Its like they try to replicate what happy people look like to them in order to get the response they see others receive but the best they can do is the trail leading into the uncanny valley
God please no, Sydney actually has viable public transport compared to something like the US.
There's so many cool JDM type stuff there probably because enthusiasts keep cars around the city.
I'd much rather be able to see all the slick WRXs and Evos while walking than having to drive a crapbox into Sydney.
Um... (I'm making fun of his misuse of "less" referencing a countable quantity of lanes. But, thank you for the helpful tip anyway.)
You need to carry a marker and draw devils horns whenever you see his poster. Colouring in the QR code to make it not work is a bonus too.
Would be more beneficial to a YT video explaining how more (safe) bike infrastructure leads to less traffic.
I think devil horns would actually make him look less evil. It would distract from the deep void that hid behind his sunken black eyes and reptile smooth head, the void where his humanity and compassion for the safety of others had once been many decades ago.
Nosferatu needs to lay off the blood of the innocent for a bit - he's clearly over-indulged.
Being less evil would be nice, but we can only reasonably expect so much.
Meanwhile, if successful, they'd probably complain about traffic and blame it on cyclists being slow in the car lanes
