sherdnerd asked:

Was just doing some back of the envelope math to explain the efficiency of trains to someone. Penn Station in New York saw about 600,000 daily passengers on weekdays in 2019. If every one of those people were to hypothetically drive a modern mini cooper instead (which, at 1.5m by 3.8m takes up an area of 6.4 square meters), it would require 3,876 square kilometres of parking. The combined area of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island is 3,738 square Kilometres.

ALL OF LONG ISLAND???

Hey man, long time follower first time asker here!

Please don't take this the wrong way because I do sincerely mean it from the bottom of my heart but...I think you may want to log off for a bit? It seems to me like your posting has taken on a bit more of a hostile/negative tone. Im still here though! I do love the urban planning and the public transport and all the trains!!...but maybe some of the shit going on around here might be weighing on you a bit?

Sorry if this sounds like im trying to be some kinda empath or a parasocial 'friend', its just something ive noticed.

I guess what im really trying to say is: I hope you're doing ok over there

Oh, I’m sorry if there has been a change in tone, I will try to correct that
