Imagine connecting these airports to rail first. The low-speed Piedmont line is a sufficient plane alternative, but CLT is a hub airport and passengers have no seamless way to connect to a train.

There is no coherent argument against lining every street in America with bollards.
You thought Charlotte would willingly sacrifice parking spaces during peak hours?

I feel like with how popular urbanism is for Gen Z and Millenials, it might be time for realtors to know what they mean when they say they want a bikeable, walkable, or transit-friendly place to live.

Driving a car is essential for the elderly to stay mobile, up until the point that it becomes unsafe or impossible. At that point, the car-first way we design our public spaces becomes inconvenient and/or treacherous for the most vulnerable in our population.

I can confirm that, in fact, all men do not want trad wives.
All men (literally 100%) want trad wives The class most like that are women in top 50-25% of edu/income The of income & increased household/child rearing activities top 10% men do make them very attractive to middle women Their trad tendencies make them 😍 to these men 2/4

@dotexperiment @jacktymac Yup. It's just so frustrating because other cities have new developments that are ranging between .3-.75 parking: unit whereas CLT is building 1.5+.
@jacktymac The amount of parking this city is building is going to kill me

@dotexperiment Yea - we should be wary of people who claim to speak intelligently on everything. I don’t speak about Chicago, DC or New York transit. Heck, I don’t speak about STL transit even though I’m heavily interested in that city. I stick to CLT because that’s what I know.
@dotexperiment Yep! I also just get annoyed by things like this. The OP has willfully little information on this issue, probably doesn’t know that the airport won’t even connect a light rail (much less a train), and probably doesn’t know anything about Gateway. It’s lazy.
