@ajsadauskas @awelder @jedsetter @nictea @philip @fuck_cars And Perth doesn't even have much of a pre-car inner-city, so it's dominated by car-friendly suburbia. The new train lines are good, but it's a pity they run between freeways and thus miss out on local walkable neighbourhoods around them.

@ajsadauskas @philip @fuck_cars "planned railways" to significant locations are never built. Take the airport as an example.
@ajsadauskas @degoogle I actually contributed to one! I was a writer at LookSmart for four years; we manually created categories and added websites to then, with short descriptive reviews. Though an algorithm listed more sites below our selections, we could force the top result, eg we'd make sure the most relevant website was the first result of a search on that topic. Old-skool now, but had better results in some ways.
@whybird @skribe @ajsadauskas @eatham @unionagainstdhmo As someone said the other day - let's go for the existing Wattle Day on 1 September!
@ajsadauskas @eatham @unionagainstdhmo I think 9 May, when federal parliament first met in 1901. It's the right year, and more convenient than 1 Jan.
@ajsadauskas @fediverse I'd quite like to be able to link up with people I miss who are on other platforms.
@ajsadauskas @urbanism Good suggestion, that would be great. Water views and all if they could put the train station underground.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars @australia Jeez they should just halt all the level crossing upgrades for the time being. We've been waiting for this airport rail link for 60 years.
