I recall reading about a cool streetcar system in, I want to say Minneapolis, that was eventually torn up in favor of cars. It's sad to think about now.
It was something of an economic disaster when a previous administration here in Mexico started bailing out the real estate sector by undwriting US style "suburban" developments, forgetting people didn't want to drive into town for their basic supplies (or take a long, long commute). There's abandoned developments all over the country, out in the boonies.
Undoing the damage has been kind of a double edged sword here in Mexico City, where the public transit system has to be expanded out to the surrounding communities (very, very expensive) and denification has in some instances meant developers sneaking in more stories into buildings than permitted (leading to water pressure problems and just too much traffic, not to mention the dangers in an earthquake prone region) and gentrication. One thing I like is the city is now "repurposing" commercial properties as apartments, and the federal government moving some ministries to other communities around the country where there are affordable rents, and properties, as well as the ability to absorb more people without the same problems.
I'm just generally astonished that Vegas scores fairly well given all the traffic that goes in and out of here both by necessity and choice. even the areas with all the giant dispatch centers are doing alright.
Not only is my neighborhood (the east village of Manhattan, once upon a time part of Peter Stuyvesant's Bouwerie) deep green, it's also 100% walkable per the Sierra Club. There's nothing I can't do in my neighborhood, but work is in the South Bronx, so it's a half-fare ride (I'm a senior) on the bus to a free transfer to the subway. If my job doesn't very soon give me all the back pay they owe me, I'll use my vacation time to find a better job at higher pay to which I can walk.
I loved visiting Sydney, where a suburb means a neighborhood. I like to think that my suburb is the East Village, where I live in a small block of flats. In reality, it's an 1899 tenement walk-up, which keeps me in good shape.
Unfortunate fact is if you have money you are likely adding to the problem. In other words it costs money to pollute. Affluent people are bad. BUT. millionaires much worse. It is not fair that us regular people sacrifice to save on carbon. And then just one affluent jerk is 1000 times worse. Or moreThere is no answer for this situation until big oil is held accountable. AND overconsumption. How do you tell someone to not spend their mula.? Not gonna happen. Thanks for trying. Good Luck
Something's off with their data. Griffith Park in LA is greyed out (indicating a non-residential area) as are the two airports in the San Fernando Valley. Balboa Park, on the other hand, shows a higher than normal use despite having zero houses.
We. The two of us plus Fraggle (Pomeranian) live in a cozy 500 sq ft cottageMeanwhile my Rethugs neighbors have the massive McMansions as vacation homes. Heated all winter while sitting unused. Plus we have a housing shortage here in North TahoeLife goes on 🤪

I'm trying to get my Trump-supporting neighbors to cut down on their greenhouse, gas emissions.
They wake me up, at night.
Y'all didn't vote for mayor in November...?
Run-off.
Traditionally, and still in much of the "global south" the suburbs where the poor people lived. Or the heavy industries were located.

Curious, still AFB? Vandenberg is all in on SFB (so, Space Force). Lompoc, CA AKA Rocket town.
My area is deep green and rated 100% walkable by Sierra Club. It's true. It's also vegan central; I can get vegan food in practically any cuisine.

Interesting. I appear to be in an 'about average' area, but literally the next block over is lower than average on everything but housing.
You can reposition it, tho. Zoom out and drag it.
