  • It also argues that municipalities create far too much parking space, reducing the amount of useable area in cities. This is one big reason why most US and Canadian city centers are dying, as more downtown plots are dedicated to parking, and new plots need a crazy amount parking.

    New constructions all have huge parking lots like big box stores and fast food islands, surrounded by a sea of pavement. The lower density reduces propery taxes (as they’re usually calculated by the number of properties, not the used land area), and increases the need for a vehicle to reach locations.

    Free parking in general may help to keep things accessible to everyone (with a car), but the amount of parking is choking everyone out and increasing reliance on car manufacturers and roadwork companies.

    It’s kind of a thing in certain animals, but not wolves like originally claimed. The certain animals here being mostly primates, so it’s even more applicable.

    That said, the politics of social primates are notoriously complex and many cultures have unique behaviors within the species, so there aren’t really any universal rules particularly among the most social groups.






  • Even knowing about the sentence structure “Do x by today”, this post is phrased weirdly.

    The top text uses the pattern "effect by amount", which leads people to see today as an amount in the bottom text. The bottom text is also a different kind of sentence entirely; “Shortening the lives of the rich by today” is a sentence fragment and needs to be modified, perhaps like “Me when I’m shortening the lives of the rich” to fit the format, or “Shorten the lives of the rich today” to fit the conclusion of the top text.

    In any case, the format of the meme, the top text, and the bottom text do not rhyme, which makes them difficult to understand in relation to each other.
