Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Monday, November 8, 2010. What we Already Knew. SHANGHAI - China's booming car sales have had a devastating effect on the environment, the national environmental watchdog has warned in its first-ever report on pollution caused by vehicle emissions. All the problems are closely related to vehicle exhaust emissions," said the government report, which was published on Thursday. China's latest Five-Year Plan, for 2011-2015, which wa...

Three Empty Seats: October 2010
http://threeemptyseats.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Thursday, October 7, 2010. All for me, none for all. The other night I went to a neighbourhood open house hosted by the City, to address concerns of local residents who are upset by “rat-runners”- drivers who use residential side streets to dodge the backed-up traffic that clogs the main thoroughfare of Hastings Street. . The homeowners seem to have no problem with their own cars parked up and down both sides of the street, and...

Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Thursday, September 15, 2011. PARK(ing) Day: Reclaiming Our Streets from Our Cars. By Yves Engler and Bianca Mugyenyi. On Friday activists and artists will be celebrating PARK(ing) Day in hundreds of cities around the world. PARK(ing) Day successfully draws attention to a topic that receives little in the way of social commentary. Beyond the seemingly endless quest for an empty spot, parking is rarely discussed, yet it shape...

Three Empty Seats: September 2010
http://threeemptyseats.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Saturday, September 11, 2010. A most important matter. We've got some immediate and crucial priorities. For instance, groups around the world are joining together on 10/10/10 for a Global Work Party. But necessary as such efforts are, they're not sufficient. We're making progress, but not as fast as the physical situation is deteriorating. Time is not on our side, so we've concluded that going forward . Our actions must be infu...

Three Empty Seats: March 2011
http://threeemptyseats.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Each touches every other. I'm thinking that out here on the left end of Terminal City it's World Water Day, another self-appointed day of reckoning for an issue more pressing than one in three sixty five can possibly accommodate. Somewhat obligingly, water leaks from the sky. I'm thinking of the hydrological cycle we all learned about in grade school. I can still picture the textbook illustration- th...

Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Life in Louisiana, and on Earth, Struggles to Survive. Published on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 by New. Clear. Vision. Life in Louisiana, and on Earth, Struggles to Survive. I suggest that in assessing the real costs of oil, we take a larger view of the matter. What are its costs over the long term for this region, for humanity, and for the whole planet? My family came to New Orleans almost three hundre...

Three Empty Seats: Just like now, only better!
http://threeemptyseats.blogspot.com/2011/10/just-like-now-only-better.html
Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Thursday, October 13, 2011. Just like now, only better! So I had the misfortunate good fortune to attend the city’s dog and pony show of sub-political suasion and careerist bluster- the firing up of a mystery theatre of deliberate delusion, a mighty wind of feel good messaging salted with reassuring moments - “Don’t worry, the future will be pretty much the same as it is now, only better! 8220;More of the same, only better!

Questioning the central premise of our society: "How can we make cars happy? Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Confessions of a recovering engineer. 22 NOV 2010 5:26 PM. Cross-posted from Strong Towns. And, more to the point, what business would I - let alone a property owner on a project I was working on - have in questioning the way things were done? Of course the people who wrote the standards knew better than we did. That is why they wrote the standard. When people objected to those other "enhancements",...
