>>1860464Not everyone who recommends a resource is behind that resource. I'm not behind RGR or strongtowns. I'm just a guy who thinks things like "what kind of infrastructure should we be building" is an important question to ask when it comes to, you know, transportation.
If you're not interested in people who are trying to figure out why the urban designs we keep using aren't delivering the results the promise, cool. Go somewhere else. Talk about bikes, or jump to a different board and hang out there.
But some of us want to talk about how transportation infrastructure keeps costing more money while delivering worse results and that means linking to people doing that kind of research. If you want to hang out in this thread, go find even more resources than those two and share them, or share your personal observations, or ask a good question.
Because "you recommended Y in a thread where someone recommended X, that means you must be either X or Y" isn't the flex you think it is. I mean, it's just as likely that you're RGR and you're responding this way to bump the thread because you think it's important.
In which case, well played, since ever response re-bumps the thread. So if you want the thread to die, paradoxically your best play is to go post in other threads besides this one.
Your call, but no matter what you do go look into strongtowns and the nightmare that is stroads, because man, once you see how little sense it makes to try and build something that's both a street and a road at the same time it's going to clear up a lot of why so much city planning backfires so badly.
