Electric cars are not the way, buses trams bikes and trains!

This is the offending article
Like the character of our streets hasn’t changed since Georgian times…
Fucking Eamon Ryan.
Champagne socialists strike again.
Policies like carbon taxes that disproportionately impact the poor: I sleep 💤💤💤
Policies they might minorly impact aesthetics in wealthier areas: REAL SHIT 🤬🤬
As opposed to most of them being filled with traffic, parked cars and tarmac that paved over our old tram lines.
This is a battle and talking point recycled nonstop in every bloody country but it’s rich coming from some bastards from south side Dublin when THE AESTHETIC OF THAT PIT IS BRIT TENEMENT BLOCKS AND SUBURBAN FUCKING SPRAWL hardly the architectural marvel of Paris or prague. The induced demand is already turning the city into a carpark so who cares if there are charging jacks around for e bikes/vehicles
And so say all of us.
