It's truly incredible how ignorant you can be about this while also feeling you can talk down. I hope you one day take an actual real look at the very real and brutal housing issues around us.

Obviously not (yet?) available in the US but other countries have much smaller trucks with larger beds. https://www.kia.com/dm/showroom/K2700-2022/specification.html
That plus a 2200 lb hauling capacity make them a very capable, efficient, and reasonably safe truck.
Nahh that's misandrist and body shaming. This definition is better.
Since there are already buildings there and between zoning, tearing down existing buildings, building height limitations, parking minimums, moving tenants out, and possibly no net gain in units after new buildings are constructed what is accomplished?
Anyways miss me with the tone and do some actual investigation into this complexity.
2h is a long ass trip we've just been gaslit
NIMBYs care about all sorts of things and are staunchly against progress and housing the young and poor alike. This is entirely NIMBYism dressed up in progressive aesthetics and language.
They're building student and homeless housing on it and leaving half the park.
The customers in this case are also treating the employee like shit.
The tip absolutely goes to the dasher. The screwed up system aside you are only compounding the exploitation of the delivery driver.
Don't use the app but don't get mad at a system that you're choosing to participate in and actively making worse.
Fatalities are one thing to consider. Another is injuries that can range from minor to life changing.
I don't know the stats on this but pedestrian injuries would be something for policy makers to consider as well.
And in general:
- If deaths are up it's safe to assume injuries are up as well
- Good policy making also involves preventing problems, and educating people on the issue. If 0.2% of deaths is acceptable and trending up at what point do we take action? 0.5%? 1%? 5%?
I don't think that the US even tracks injuries at least I can't find anything from a cursory search. But according to Vancouver RTOR is 13% of all deaths and serious injuries. https://viewpointvancouver.ca/2022/08/23/rethinking-the-right-turn-on-red/
If you use a service from someone that depends on your tips and you don't tip them then you have exploited their labor. Not as bad as the company or CEO is but it's exploitation nonetheless.
