I think my Gelato cost $7.... This was good because at one point my brain was considering throwing it. Instead I just kept eating it through all this as best I could. It was also so delicious.

^ That's one of the oldest scams in the book: provoke someone into throwing their expensive gelato at you and hey, free gelato!
EDIT: Not recommended if you're looking for free bricks.

use flaggers like a construction roadwork site. we are just talking about moss south of fairfield here. the only significant intersections are may and dallas and they are hardly high-traffic. dallas is not blocked just the end of moss is.

Axe throwing, eh?
I would think police act as more of a deterrent. We also have police stationed at every arrival and departure of the Coho, and maybe even the clipper.
Who funds that? Are they there because US Customs doesn’t actually have any authority in Canada?

Pre-Clearance at the ferry lets U.S. Border Patrol carry weapons, strip search Canadians, and detain Canadians (on Canadian soil).

Phoenix, that featureless and ever-spreading tundra of concrete, has been called “the world’s least sustainable city.” It has been characterized as a “sprawling, suburbanite wasteland” and “a monument to man’s arrogance.” The Onion has darkly predicted that by 2050, “most of Earth’s landmass” will be swallowed by the encroaching Phoenix exurbs. The Walk Score index ranks the place as the second-worst big city in America for pedestrians, and traversing it has been described as “a slog through a desert, plus the occasional McDonald’s.”
The Phoenix metropolitan area is, in other words, the last place you would expect a real estate developer to spend $170 million creating what it calls the first-ever car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the United States.
The development, Culdesac Tempe, is a 17-acre lot just across the Salt River from Phoenix. Currently a mess of dust and heavy equipment, the site will eventually feature 761 apartments, 16,000 square feet of retail, 1,000 residents — and exactly zero places for them to park. The people who live there will be contractually forbidden to park a car on site or on nearby streets, part of a deal the development company struck with the government to assuage fears of clogged parking in surrounding neighborhoods.
Culdesac Tempe is a proving ground for a start-up also called Culdesac, which was founded in San Francisco and moved to Tempe during the pandemic. Started in 2018 by two native Arizonans, the company announced the project last year to a mixture of curiosity and doubt. Urbanists cheered it as a bold and important step toward a future with fewer cars, while suburban developers said the concept could never work on a large scale.

Mandating something always works better than letting things happen naturally.

...Dell said establishing more pedestrian-only zones would also help the city address road safety and climate change.
It will do neither. Dell is an idiot.

Since when do civil infrastructure projects just naturally happen. With the exception of third world slums?
