I’m just trying to help you out with your bad methodology. Fine, put your fingers in your ears and I’m happy for this discussion to be over. You won’t hear more from me.

DC YIMBY @troneheel.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

No, you are still thinking about it wrong. Example: An American drives 10 miles to the store and has a 1 in 20 chance of dying. A German drives 2 miles to the store and has a 1 in 100 chance of dying. With your stat, both are equally safe, which is nonsense. More driving = more danger.

DC YIMBY @troneheel.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

But if Americans drive more, that in and of itself is NOT safer. Part of the reason the US is not safe is the fact that people drive everywhere. You can’t separate the two. Just like you can’t separate the number of guns and gun violence, you can’t separate the ubiquity of cars and road violence.

DC YIMBY @troneheel.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Actually, no. Per miles driven is NOT a relevant metric. Americans drive a SHIT TON of miles and generate a SHiT TON of road deaths per person. That’s precisely the problem. That’s like saying Americans have a reasonable amount of gun deaths per bullets fired. It’s a bad metric.

DC YIMBY @troneheel.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Maybe. But Germany still far, far better than the US for road safety.

Chart showing road deaths per 100K inhabitants by select country since the mid-90s. Every country with sharp declines except the US, which is the highest (passing Russia recently) and 2x-4x higher than peers like UK, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Australia, and Canada.

Three speeding tickets and your license should be revoked and car impounded.

So glad we tore down the Adams Morgan streateries so we have plenty of space for this guy who owes $2,200 in unpaid tickets so he can park directly in front of tryst!!!

Photo of a truck with Virginia license plate TJA 1553 parked directly next to the curb in front of Tryst on 18th street in Adams Morgan, in the space that held their outdoor dining patio until recently

Different angle perpendicular to the pickup truck showing it is directly in front of Tryst

Screenshot of the DC parking ticket website showing that the truck has $2200 in unpaid tickets, mostly for illegal parking on 18th street, but also three for speeding and one for running a red light.

Trying to make a list of all the bike projects that DDOT planned and then seriously watered down over the last year or two... --CT Ave (obviously) --KS Ave (described below) --11th street NW --K Street NW transitway not to mention downgrading AZ ave which was already protected but isn't anymore

And crime! Americans “feel” like it keeps going up, though it’s been decreasing for many decades (with a slight bump post the heights of the pandemic). And they typically report their personal feeling of safety much higher “elsewhere.”

Good take = Lack of accesses an important issue, and one should work towards inclusion and equity to make a bike bus accessible for as many people as possible. Bad take = Bike buses do more harm than good (which is absurdity inwas responding to)

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Lol. Our problem is not that the players don’t care. “Look at the players faces” is not analysis. We simply had almost half of our starters that don’t belong on the teams.

WTF. Over folks like Tessmann, Busio, A Morris, B Aaronson? And that’s giving him credit that he would have called Cardoso, Musah, McKennie, etc under different circumstances (not a given). Midfield is a strength of ours and Poch has turned it into a weakness with his wild player selections. Dumb.

Almost 50,000 people die on American roads every year. This is only news if folks like AP are complicit in making it news. Unless they report on every traffic death out there. The fact that racists are up in arms over it is NOT news.
