MODERATORS
in the US, there’s another side that makes it even more frustrating – not only is turning every square foot into road or parking being actively rewarded – but any attempt in the other direction is actively punished – reams of legislation against medium density housing, open patio seating, mixed use zoning, walkable cities, bike-friendly roads, …
imagine what would happen if federal dollars could only be spent on upkeep of existing highways and not to build more or expand highways, and the excess money was put into rail transit construction and protected bike lanes
Both look horrible.
i don't drive, so it would have to be #2 (otherwise no coffee for me).
tbh i feel bad for the people living above the restaurant. i used to live above an italian restaurant and the patrons were so loud that we'd receive love letters from the landlord saying things like "do not throw milk in the courtyard".
I'd much rather make my own coffee at home. It's pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I'm not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I'll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.
I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It's one of the highlights of my day.
I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I'm also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.
The one where I just get a cup from my MrCoffee drip coffee maker and stay home.
Neither. Place is packed both places.
This is why I make coffee at home.

The top one. I’m tired and I’d rather rest on my car seat in the warm interior than on one of those wooden chairs. I ride bikes a lot, 5000 km per year and I advocate for walk ability but nothing beats a coffee in my warm car on a 6am commute where it’s 6°c outside
