Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•US Energy Secretary: We are punishing wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... Do you really want to subsidize E-bike lanes?English

Berkeley was not only the first city in America to use racist zoning to prevent lower-income and non-whites from moving into wealthy neighborhoods – but the Elmwood district was the first neighborhood in the city to receive such treatment. That 1916 plan persists basically unchanged to do this day, with the Elmwood having the highest percentage of white residents in Alameda County. The State is acting well within its obligations to put a stop to such policies.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Americans are getting new trainsEnglish
3·4 months agoAccording to the bog-standard UIC definition, HSR requires dedicated HSL running generally at 155+mph. UIC has a second definition that does allow for upgraded conventional lines running generally at 125mph in corridors without air competition. Acela meets neither of these metrics.
Even aside from the air competition issue, Acela’s general overall speed is not over 125mph or even 100mph due to all the slow sections. For example:
