    Can’t believe that workplace abuses their workers like this, making people think she’s poor! /s

    Some time ago I was standing chatting next to my vehicle in a parking lot. This was in college. About 50-60ft away was one of the lot entrances. Not too steep, though one of those that will catch a lower car if it doesn’t come in carefully. Anyway, in comes screaming a Lamborghini. The very expensive sound the bottom of that car made still makes me wish I was recording. Could’ve turned it into my morning alarm.

    I like to think me bursting out laughing still haunts the driver to this day.

    Ya know, this is a good argument for all cars to be cartoonishly oversized. That way they can only be used when absolutely needed.

    Or of course the car lobby will just push to make all the infrastructure fit around the giant gas guzzlers.

      The office where I work in central London, UK has bike parking for 300 and only eight vehicle parking spaces. We also have a fitness suite. There’s two (male and female) locker rooms with showers, towels provided, a drying room.

      At least one of the green building standards doesn’t give you the top rating unless you have provision for active travel, institutional investors won’t buy your shiny new building unless it’s rated “Excellent” or “Platinum”, tenants are looking for added extras which encourage their staff to come to the office rather than WFH.

      And Westminster Council charges business rates (property tax) on parking spaces.
