Apple announced this morning it will commit $2.5 Billion to solving the CA housing crisis. This follows billion-dollar commitments from Google and Facebook. Apple will contribute to "affordable housing funds" and allow some of its land for affordable housing.

What I'm not sure any of these companies understand is, it will require denser housing to solve the housing crisis.

Transit infrastructure like this could work beautifully when it's used effectively. It makes zero fucking sense when everyone has their own personal vehicle as opposed to carpooling or using a bus. The best part of those options is you don't have to re-invent the wheel or invest in massive rail infrastructure, everything you need is already there.

Ding dong ur fucken wrong.
(Sub)urban sprawl is incredibly bad for ecology, its a concrete jungle with the only life being in the zoo, or the humans themselves.
Trucks are more efficient than trains because they have more freedom to go places where trains cant and they can be used on demand. trains need to have tracks.
Everything important ever made is transported by truck.
Trains are useful for bulk material from only A to B, but ships are better than trains at even that.
>>1414276
literally everything humans do pollutes the environment, disrupts communities and engages in poor land use.
Just because you are on steel wheels and cant see an exhaust doesn't mean there is no pollution.

onion cycling club is actually anti-sustainability, they overconsume on everything and just wear cutoff jeans over their Rapha shorts to appear "authentic". they are gay.

What are /n/'s thoughts on Automated People Movers as a transit system. Could they be more efficient than and replace traditional metro systems if they ran underground? If they are used so much in airports why aren't they used more in other applications?

Most people movers have tiny capacities in no way comparable to metro lines.
The best thing to do would be to automate metros and supplement them with on-demand people mover pods for the off-hours.

Several sources suggest it to be done by the end of the year, really can't wait.

I don't think so. This is the only small/medium turboprop airplane with speeds comparable to turbojets. If airplanes switch to electric motors this would be a good initial reference (given electric equivalents of turbofans or hybrid propulsion don't make much sense AFAIK).
Some big military cargo planes are capable of high speeds using turboprops too.
This is a military drone version.
