      Ewww I would never want fire chiefs elected. Also you’re just wrong in basically every assumption you make about how decisions get made.

        I think some people believe we should live in some sort of Athenian democracy where we vote on everything and anything and who has the fucking time?

          If your guy feels like showing up to those meetings they are an extremely rare exception. There is no rule that they be present, they just must feel like voicing their opinion.

      Wider roads make things more safe for everyone. Your ‘fuck cars’ bullshit is no different than all of the annoying stoners saying weed should be legal in conversations where that point is irrelevant.

          Nope, I drive a small truck because I do a lot of DIY projects and needed something to haul lumber in. It’s basically a hatchback with a short bed.

          It’s comical parking next to gender affirming vehicles because it looks like a toy truck in comparison.

            That’s why I like my S10. Easy to park, easy to maneuver, not a burden on everyone within 90 feet, etc.

            That’s cool, I prefer smaller trucks like that.

            Wide roads suck ass for people walking, and are completely inappropriate inside residential areas.
