We should really be investing more in public transit, it's way better than electric cars and could be way more convenient if implemented properly

It all starts with fixing the zoning code. Cars will always be "more convenient" if we keep destroying our cities to make space catering to them.

Design a city around electric wheelchairs and you’ll have a system accessible to everyone.

Conveyor belts everywhere ♥️ no need for electric wheelchairs.

Dunno of you're being sardonic, but that would actually be smart.

Checkmate atheists!
