    Toronto’s Black Bull Tavern closing after nearly 200 years
  • @Intrepidtron "The tavern has Heritage Property Designation, protecting it from demolition."

    That's good, anyway. Hopefully that doesn't mean they get to not tear it down but turn it into condos.

  • @itsshevee @ocursedspite @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Who throws out 40% of their food? It's way too expensive these days. The food folk buy in bulk isn't perishables, it's stuff for freezers and pantries.

  • @ocursedspite @seanddotmedotuk @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars When I first moved to the big city, I spent a least 5 hours commuting a day, changing 3 times, often in very crowded conditions in which you were lucky to get a seat. It was NOT relaxing, especially with people hacking all over others without covering heir mouths, something I was rather shocked to learn was a thing with adults. It would’ve been 80 min-2 hrs by car, depending on traffic, with nice music, no rude crowds of people.

  • @seanddotmedotuk Depends. Some cities are big and sprawling and not everyone works in city centres. @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

  • @seanddotmedotuk A big thing with buses: how long does it take with a bus vs how long by car? If it's a 2-3Xs diff, well, if you have a car, you'll use the car. @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

  • @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars It would be interesting to see a poll like that broken down by income. I don't think that average folk think that much about it, but remembering that folk in Marin County opposed a Bart train expansion out their way because they didn't want the riffraff moving in, you are probably onto something with your latter point.

  • @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars The nots are puzzling. Folk don't want a grocery store within walking distance?
