It was the final album of the Trevor Rabin era from 1994. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case it wasn't obvious, the above was an example of horrendous zoning and design practices. It's as if someone hated the concept of walking with the utmost passion, and was trying to maximize arbitrary miles driven. Hopefully each restaurant has a valet while they're at it. If I assembled a team of random mentally challenged individuals and gave them total freedom to design an area without regulation, I'm confident they'd come up with something better.

That One Guy Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 There's no such thing as "free parking", there's just parking with the cost baked into the price of what you're there for. And a steep cost it is! If anyone loves free parking everywhere they go, I 100% don't want to hear them bitch about the reasonable concept of public transit not charging at the point of consumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 (edited) If you love roads, don't go bitching about road taxes. Any given road you're driving on isn't taxing you hard enough to use it to pay for itself. You're getting subsidized every step of the way.

Likely minimum lot sizes, huge minimum setbacks, parking minimums, minimum percentage landscaped areas, and possibly all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from a shot in the dark, but yes, I wasn't physically there so I can't definitely give you the 100% guarantee. This pattern repeats itself throughout the US, which is why you can make the claim that it's [very] likely certain things.

When car dependency is required, we all pay quite dearly for it. IDK where mr monotone is from but he used a lot of footage from Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Quote The relationship struck Sarah’s friends as odd. At one point, Sarah said, “I just want to be with my kids and cook for my man.” “I was like, Who says that?” says a close friend. “I mean, I’ve known her for 30 years. She’s a powerful, decisive, strong woman. We grew up in this very feminist community. That’s not a thing either of us would ever say.” lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) how that's still a prevalent line of feminist thinking beats me. kinda retarded how they always find cooking in particular to be offensive. yeah, gee, the horror... on the other hand i'm offended that culinary arts always get discarded like this, cooking is as difficult and interesting as you want it to be. It's definitely a few steps above Sarah's friend's office job. Edited March 31 by Mr. Not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) my cuban gf should move here and start a cuban food truck, i bet it would blow up and be incredibly lucrative. staffing would be difficult though, there are hardly any Cubans in CA. but here in the marin county - wealthy libtard central - puerto rican food is the craze like you wouldn't believe. feeling cultured / worldly is definitely a key driver for that clientele. in FL no one goes to the cuban restaurants other than the cubans.. but cubans are like half the population of many areas in FL Edited March 31 by Mr. Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
