Part of the problem with city planners is that much of their job is just alleviating car traffic. And if they were successful at doing (like making good public transport and walkable cities) they would have far less work, and be put out of a job.

That being said, I think they would realistically just start working on other city issues, but I think that’s the mindset that keeps them building this kind of stuff.

I bet there’s also a factor of that things are already going in this direction, and there’s already more demand for driving, and it’s far more difficult to go against the grain.

I know Blue Horizon or whatever it’s called has had minor success with rockets. What’s stopping Honda from out-competing them? Could it be a funding problem? (I know Blue Horizon has a lot of Amazon funding)

Thanks. Since moving from Reddit to Lemmy, I’ve become way more aware of what I’m clicking on. I’m pretty sure the amp project links are just for mobile phones n stuff, but it’s good to be aware
