MODERATORS
Been saying it for years, and starting to feel like I'm going insane. How in the fuck have so many municipalities around the world, especially those concerned with vehicle-based terrorist attacks on pedestrians, not settled on bollards? If it works for embassies, military bases, and other sensitive sites, why not exclusively vehicle-free areas?
not settled on bollards?
I remember, maybe last year, there was city "debate" over installing bollards at intersections to protect cyclists and pedestrians. From what I recall, NIMBYs pushed HARD against the idea, saying it was "confusing" and "dangerous" for motorists...
Anything to save lives or improve safety tends to be an automatic "NO!" in most places because of NIMBYs.
That's why certain safety projects should just move forward without public input.

Republican stranglehold on finances makes bollards price prohibitive.
Also NIMBYism because "they look ugly".
They also have issues with how it would interfere with running over protesters
A bollard in every pot, I say.

If two of them weren’t trying to hail the cab they all would’ve been fine.
I bet they said the same shit too "I understand you dont like this and want to protest it, but you inconvenienced me and therefore are wrong!"
