acid rain was legit, then the world’s governments actually did something about it and it became not a thing. Much like the hole in the o-zone (at least until Elon’s vanity satellites start failing at a high enough rate to decimate the o-zone) and how we could mitigate climate change if there was political will

Garages are expensive to build and if you design your roads so that no person with the means would choose anything but driving and ignore the rest, then sprawl becomes the reasonable choice, since people are driving to every destination anyway. What’s the point of the added expense of a garage if you don’t really care about being close to other things nearby?

Haven’t tried that, but Organic Maps is another OSM based app that has a pretty clean UI

There’s no reason we need to have first past the post, single seat districts.

You can make much more representative maps with RCV of multi member districts. And that district could be statewide if you wanted, then no special map to make anyway.

If you want to help make OSM better, there are a few apps that make it really easy to add details to your local area.

Street Complete has gamified quests to add details to things, including hours to shops.

Every Door is a step more detailed, but makes it really easy to add new things to the map.

Organic Maps is a nice Google maps competitor that does make it easy to make edits while in it.

Also, if you use maps in any other app, like bike share or fitness tracking, they probably use OSM data, so it can be worth making improvements where you can since it’ll make those services better too.

If Google wanted to, they could update their contract, don’t give them that easy out
