No case yet, I was given a warning not charged.

I'll still reach out, they're likely tied into the right people.

Is still vehicle, but makes less traffic, takes less space, and requires less signalisation.

Specifically I was on a two lane road on front of a Tim Hortons. Because where else would a cop be hanging out.

No set fine, it's a court appearance; according to the cop who pulled me over.

E-bike then 🤣

I mean, that's an option too. Bike could pay 1/8th-1/12th the amount cars do based on amount of road used.

Of course, there's the whole problem of cars don't fucking pay for the roads. In Ontario, vehicle registration is a whopping $32. Since the average car lifespan in Canada is around 11 years, Ontario vehicles pay less than $3 per year (less however much of the registration fee is administration and overhead)

Since bikes take up abouth 1/10th the road, they would pay $3 for registration.

I am more than happy to pay road tax by fourth power law axle weight on all my bicycles.

And? Highway miles should have even less interaction with pedestrians.

So you don't have taxis driving on sidewalks or motorcycles speeding down the wrong side of split avenues and you STILL have about the same road deaths and injuries per pop as Taiwan?

Also the wealth hording.

Sure, but dead plant parts should be outside your house when decomposing. Same with food waste. Economy of scale still exists with municipal composting.

No need to accept mold in your house.

A huge part of cities (I'd argue the biggest part) is cleanliness and hygiene. Cities need to consolidate and remove their waste to avoid illness and outbreaks. There is also an economy of scale, a municipal composting station can break down more things, and more quickly, than everyone doing it at home (not that they can't or shouldn't if they want to).

The best way to keep decomposers out of your house is to move the things they want to decompose OUT of your house. This is way to much for an individual to manage in tight quarters, so we fall back on a city's economy of scale.

Basically, a city needs a systematic approach to decomposition, it's impractical and unhygienic to be doing so on a small scale within a city (the rules are certain different for something more rural or homestead-y)
