Comment | I increasingly feel this about some aspects of how Glasgow is run.
It feels like it isn't (ironically, given the slogan) run for the majority of the population of Glasgow, as in, even on behalf of them. There seems to be a constant assumption from how certain things are organised that *everyone* has a choice and is *deliberately choosing* options that might be e.g. harmful to the environment, or to complain about something, just out of badness, not because it's their only practical option or because it being unworkable currently *actually affects them a lot*. That was generally what I thought about the cycling event. Yes it was a good ad for Glasgow but did it need to come at the cost of screwing over all other forms of transportation for anyone that wasn't able to walk or cycle about for two whole weeks out of the year? |
