Hey @wien.gv.at good work! This is a great first step!
Proud to call this city my home (and prouder to be able to use Argentinierstraße regularly!)

A real loss for London. For those two times a year you need it, carsharing is great for a city.
In Vienna we have carsharing (and vansharing) offered by the national rail operator and @wien.gv.at; the vans in particular are always fully booked.
Would love to see the service expanded, to be honest!

Even the Netherlands can’t prevent cycling on the wrong side of the road 100% of the time, but you can disincentivise it by a) shrinking roads so that crossing them doesn’t involve crossing lanes of cars, b) prioritising bikes at traffic signals, and c) two-way cycle paths, like in this image.

Warum wird von den Armen und Bedürftigen Wiens immer erwartet, dass sie sparen, und nicht von den Millionären, die sich ihr zehntes leerstehendes Haus kaufen? Die Kürzung dieser Mittel wird Familien auseinanderreißen und die Vorstellung zerstören, dass @spoewien.bsky.social für Equality kämpft.

Soll Ihre neue Politik das verheerende Scheitern der dänischen Sozialdemokraten wiederholen, oder glauben Sie wirklich, dass dies helfen wird? Wie viele Millionen Euro an unbezahlten Parkgebühren gibt es derzeit? Wie viel Geld könnte durch eine Erhöhung der Parkgebühr auf 365€ eingenommen werden?

… The only fix is to take the interests of young people seriously in politics. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social said, don’t pay lip service to the youth, but elevate them to positions of power and let them make meaningful decisions. It seems like that is a low priority for the U.K. government.

… something to do with it, but those roots run back to austerity. One teenager I spoke to, from an affluent background, works after school and three weekends a month just so he can go to London to see friends. Another (under 18) meets his friends in the pub because it’s the only place open past 8pm.

Wrote my masters thesis on spatial isolation and young people in the U.K.; even in affluent areas the total lack of accessible (affordable, open, usable) social environments (third places) is evident. Kids are lonelier and more isolated than ever. A lot of literature suggested COVID might have…

… street use (with a focus on removing on-street parking), lowering speed limits, particularly near schools and in urban areas to name but a few. This is a promising first step, and proves that 1960s laws can indeed be amended and made fit for the modern day.

This is undoubtedly a good change and brings Austrian infrastructure planning closer to the 21st Century (thanks @spoe.at, who made this happen!). At the same time, it’s clear to see what’s been left out- increasing traffic fines to meet inflation, updating roadbuilding guidance to reflect modern…

Solidarity with those in Georgia, on the frontline of democracy!
I was in Tbilisi recently and was welcomed with Caucasian hospitality; truly the most friendly, peaceful, and proudly European protest I’ve ever attended.
Titushki / police agitation is a crime. The Hague waits.

€36 considering the budget crisis is insane, I want to see @spoe.at pushing to bring that fine to a proportion of the driver’s net wealth. At €36 per fine, that’s cheaper than a day’s (legal) parking in London!

My commute used to take me down the length of Burggasse. It was always hostile, but apparently the bus-taxi lane has a speed limit of 50kph! Switched to Zeltgasse instantly after finding this out…

I can only imagine how much it costs to maintain thousands of unused parking spaces, @wien.gv.at!

What’s particularly astonishing is just how many empty parking spots you see, particularly noticeable on Sunday nights, even in the city centre! Not only is parking far, far too cheap, but there is way too much of it!

And that’s not to minimise the ongoing genocide in Gaza, for which the Israeli government is fully to blame.
Message your representatives and tell them that meddling in our democracies will not stand. The Israeli government is starving millions and lying to you while they do it.

The only thing that propaganda and fake news from the Israeli government do is promote a climate of doubt and a ‘question everything’ culture which ultimately leads to anti-Semitism.The Israeli government threatens the safety of all Jews. Our shul becomes unsafe because of these videos.

Make no mistake, this is a war crime. It is also illegal content in much of Europe.

Great news! Looking forward to a beautifully restored square by the end of the year! I am really glad to live in this city @wien.gv.at :)
