In this NYT article they say that 55 percent of NYC households have no car, and this site claims a modal share of 30% for cars. So most NYC residents already use sustainable transportation, but not all of them.

Voor kamers zoeken raad ik je aan een account te maken voor Room.nl als je dat nog niet hebt gedaan. Kost eenmalig iets van 30 euro en ze bieden in vrij veel steden kamers aan. Je hebt een grotere kans om een kamer te krijgen als je een ouder account hebt, dus het is handig om dat zsm te doen.
Ik ben het volledig eens met je sentiment.
Wel even een detail: volgens het knmi (statistieken uit 2022) is de opwarming in Nederland al 2.3 graden. Je hebt dus de gemiddelde opwarming van de aarde genomen in je comment en de gevolgen in Nederland van een hogere opwarming, waardoor die gevolgen ernstiger kunnen lijken.
Dat gezegd hebbende: we moeten inderdaad oppassen dat we niet achterover leunen, want de gevolgen van nog meer opwarming zijn lastig te voorspellen.
I should really start listening to audiobooks more often. I just looked and the book is freely available on Librivox, so I may switch back and forth between reading and listening from now on. Thanks for the tip!
Reading "A tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens. I am not too far into it, but so far it's been really enjoyable! The English accents are really hard to follow for someone whose native language isn't English, but I'm getting used to it.
I mostly use "The French" in a dehumanising manner. Which is a good thing, because a chess opening should not be humanised.
Homage to Catalonia, George Orwells memoir about the Spanish civil war. I never read memoirs or autobiographies, but I am very glad I have read this one. It gives a good insight into various aspects of the civil war, as well as Orwells personal views (and his sigarette addiction). On top of that, it is at times hilarious. And it is almost unbelievable how many things happened in just 6 months.
Highly recommend it if you're into history or politics or love Orwells other works.
Thanks for answering! It looks great!
In my experience (Dutchie living near the German border) the car culture of Germany isn't that big; it is mostly the industry. Yes, there are many cars and a few more people driving in big BMW than the Dutch average, but there are quite a few people on bikes too. Also, transit in Germany is quite decent, despite the governments efforts; and, contrary to the Netherlands, it is affordable. Meanwhile the UK cancelled part of their HSR system and the prime minister claims it is a "country of motorists".
Deutsche Bank I don't know about, so you may still be right.
Looks great!
Some questions out of curiosity: how long ago did you convert your lawn to this (if it was a lawn before), and how hard was it to beat all the grass?

For me, !superbowl@lemmy.world is basically the only active community that I really love on Lemmy and the main reason why I keep coming back here. Other places can be fun too, but Superbowl is just different. There are so many funny owl pictures in them as well as so many informative posts (mainly the Owl-natomy Posts). Also, it is a very positive place. I highly recommend checking it out!
