fuck both of them anyway
I mean I'm all for hating cars, but why the small one? That one seems reasonable at least.
Like it or not, some kind of truck or work vehicle will have to exist for landscapers and such. Id much rather see the smaller truck everywhere than the larger. The streets would be safer for anyone not in a metal box.
Yes exactly.
it's not like having 4 wheels and a cab is somehow magically evil, the problem with cars is that they're too big and go too fast, and that people expect them to always get priority.
Here in sweden a lot of landlord companies have started using what is effectively more robust golf carts as work vehicles, and they don't even really feel that out of place on a combined pedestrian/bicycle path.
Even just removing the massive bulge at the front of a standard car helps a lot, that suddenly brings the driver closer to everything and means their natural instincts to be careful engage more.
