Dreamworld Gold Coast
without the koalas

Koala habitats would be impacted under the proposal to expand Dreamworld.

Coomera resident "said he could hardly believe it was the same suburb where he once saw koalas in the trees. "It's all gone...It's just wall-to-wall suburban development."

"Dr O'Hare said instead of clearing vegetation and koala habitat for the project, developers should use 7 hectares of land occupied by a car park." >>

Why car dependence is now a strategic liability

Failure to electrify
Road projects and mega-highway projects are unaffordable
No walking, cycling infrastructure or EV bus improvements

Every bus electrified, every cycleway built, every train funded is a direct reduction in exposure to the next crisis. The question now is whether (your place) begins to treat the car dependence not as a lifestyle choice but as a strategic liability. >>

Renting a car for two weeks costs at least $500. For that price you can order a new bicycle and have it shipped anywhere in the US. At the end of the trip you can donate the bike or likely get it back home with you for a small fee. Granted, that will not be the greatest bicycle but sufficient to get around. #travelTips #bicycle #CarDependence

“Just as we transformed our communities in the last hundred years to center and prioritize car movement, in the next hundred years we can, if we want to, build an entirely different future.” Anna Letitia Zivarts; When Driving is not an option.
This is a powerful message. We built this. It was not always like this. We can change it. #carDependence #motonormativity

If you demand that trains run at a profit, you must also ask for highways to run a profit. Otherwise, you distort the market. #train #cardependence #motonormativity

I am afraid that one big obstacle towards overcoming #cardependence in the US is #amtrak and I am not sure how that can be resolved.

Does #CarDependence Make People Unsatisfied With Life? Evidence From a U.S. National Survey - ScienceDirect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214367X24002175 “Our results show that beyond a certain point, increases in car dependence yield a decrease in people’s satisfaction with life. For instance, we find that, in a typical week, relying on a car for more than 50 percent of the time for out-of-home activities is associated with a decrease in life satisfaction.
