You didnt do anything wrong if you were being yourself. I know it sounds corny but just being the best version of you is the best thing you can do, and if someone ghosts you like that they did you a favor. You dont want to be with someine like that; you just eant to be with the idea of the person you thought they were.

Still a bummer, but dont let a jerk define who you are.

I think its pretty hypocritical for anyone who isnt a male to have an opinion on the validity of an experience they cant possibly have unless they transitioned.

Its like me having an opinion on have a period.

Whats the TL;DR on why?

. if there is a residential building with parking at ground level, but parking is only for residents, that won’t help me if I’m driving in and looking for street parking.

Sure it will! Think of all of those residents who are now not taking up a spot on the street.

But yes there are tradeoffs when accomidating everyone. Want to live downtown? Might need to park your car at a municiple garage at the edge (i saw this in spain alot). Medium density after that maybe shared driveways (nyc has a lot of these, 1 driveway for all the houses on one side of the block), and finally light density single family homes. The trick with this though is not to make any of these zones toooo large. Should be able to walk from light to downtown in < 30 min. Cluster these together with larger roads between them.

Its unfortunate how much was built soley with cars in mind, but i wouldnt want to live the opposite either.

This makes sense when it comes to sprawling parking for sure. Plenty of parking can be built under a building (or ground level) though.

I think noone can deny the towns built post war to accomidate cars were done very poorly, becase they were built for cars at the expense of literally everything else. Going the opposite way is just a different kind of nightmare. We can build in ways that accomidate all needs in an equal way.

Less parking spots … ? … Less need for cars. Im not really connecting the dots here. I live in a place where lots of hlusing was built pre war without parking spots. There are not less cars there, just greater competition for street parking in those neighborhoods. Its actually more car dense brcause there is nowhere else for the cars to gonother than the street (and crosswalks, and hydrants, etc).

In the nieghborhoods with newer buildings that have parking, there are less cars taking up space on the road.

If new buildings dont have spots, and everyone parks on the street, and there is finite street space; how do you continue to park your car?

Ultimately yes, its the fault of the voters (and non voters) who let their emotions cloud their judgement. Thats true whether you like it or not. Especially if Gaza was your main issue; if you saw both candidates and thought Trump was better for the situation, you need to seriously look inward and consider your reasoning abilities.

That being said, the opposition party does not get off the hook so easily here. The fact that Trump could win despite everything he said is a total and utter failure. Their strategy is bad, and they refuse to acknoledge it because to do so means that they need to upend their internal heirarchy. They have buried their heads in the sand when it comes to accepting the playing field of politics right now, and quite frankly as a party they look incredibly weak.

In other words, to not acknoledge that the election was theirs to lose is also denying reality
