    Slowly, over time making our cities better for future generations to live in?

    It doesn’t have to be calculated in dollars but in quality of life. It’s investing in the welfare of your people. Plus, every city that has heavily pedestrianised so far has seen an increase in local spending and a decrease in public infrastructure spending.

    So like… Even the money people should know.

        Beats me. People seem to just want bandaid solutions that “scientists” think up that will cost trillions of dollars rather than solutions like… Planting trees and flowers in neighbourhoods that benefit humans and nature.

        I wonder how long one of these algae tanks would have to run to counter the emissions cost of creating, placing and maintaining said algae tank. This shit is literally techbros reinventing the train every other month.

      The people with the money only see things one quarter at a time. It’s a shame, but that’s the way the world is now.
