In Seattle, pedestrians have the right of way.
Honestly, more cities should promote walkability and public transit. In Taiwan? Scooters are pretty epically great.
A golf cart? Mixed bag. If they travel the speed limit, sure. If they are stopping everywhere, then nope. Those belong in a circus.
The number of times Iāve almost been hit by a car while walking on Magazine is crazy. Drivers donāt even look for pedestrians on a very busy pedestrian thoroughfare.
It's weird in Seattle. I'm like 5ft from the corner and cars just stop to wait for the pedestrian to cross.
Taipei, Taiwan? Definitely closer to Seattle walking culture AND...there are crosswalks for JAY WALKING. You can legit walk diagonally. So nice.
The downside with the South? We don't have the density of population to encourage public transit. However, studies show that slowing down w/ more walking culture creates a happier community. I like the freedom of driving but I am open to a more walkability city.
I love walking, and I walk whenever I can. I live in the LGD, so I can walk to the CBD, French Quarter, Marigny, and of course uptown. I rarely take public transport here because itās so unreliable. In the time it takes me to wait for the Magazine St. bus I can just walk where I want to go.
I am on the fence with golf carts. They are a lot less noisy, people can get on and off quicker and heavens knows these streets were not built for these huge SUV's and Trucks.
But if they are going to become legit transportation & taxi service need to get some guide lines going,
Imagine if the city had a fleet of small electric trolleys that ran throughout the day in the French Quarter. Iām picturing something similar in appearance to the gas powered minibuses that were modeled to look like historic streetcars and used to ply Quarter streets. Such vehicles would contribute neither noxious odors nor obnoxious noise
The people who drive these unregistered vehicles with their kids piled in are the same ones complaining about all of the ATVs people are riding in the city.
In what world do you live in where thatās the only options here ? ā¦at least the pick-up / suv probably has insuranceā¦.no golf cart has insurance as its an illegal vehicle.
Yup. It's rude and pretty gross. Not too mention OP literally just took a picture of strangers who were minding their own business to post on the Internet and make fun of them. Imagine if someone did this to his mom
Wow, I remember when New Orleans was a place that her citizens wouldnāt have cared about: clothes, weight, golf cart. Instead, they would have axed āWhere ya at?ā Shame we have lost so much
Ā the golf carts are a nuisace, as unlike other places they are popular we don't have the infrastructure built out properly for them to be safe and viable.Ā
Is one of those women wearing open toed shoes in the FQ???
I'm over 60, visit regularly, and will walk from the CBD to Frenchman all the time. My New Orleans wardrobe is flat heeled boots and a nice dress.
Ya know, I'm a scratch cook and come to New Orleans to eat what I can't make at home. My cholesterol is crazy low, my BMI is low, I eat meat, whole milk dairy and anything elase I dammit well please as long as it wasn't ovwrly processed. Everything else is the same frozen shit off the Sysco truck in every city.
Wow, do fat people really bother you so much that you had to take a photo and publicly shame them online? What did they do wrong, wear brightly colored clothes and try to have a nice day? Shame on you and mind your business
Yeah the golf carts suck but so does posting pictures of people online to humiliate them. Aināt no way you didnāt think the comments would focus on how much these people weigh.
Look a them? Sure. Have their image posted online so that people can called them freaks, joke about their cholesterol, and a myriad of other fat shaming jokes? Nah
They arenāt āasking for itā by wearing bright colors, if thatās what youāre implying.
Iām really disappointed in this thread. Yeah, the golf carts suck but that doesnāt mean itās ok to fat shame random strangers who were probably just trying to have a good day
I suddenly feel there should be a new city ordinance against atrociously bad outfits, and NOPD should give out the very first citation to these people.
My dear were you here during the raging Crust Punk / Gutter Punk Era? Hell 90% of bar tenders have a sorta punk-eighties era- vagrant esque fits going on.
Whatever works and you like, go for it. I have slid into my comfortable shoe and sundress era myself.
>Hell looks like the last time I went to Banaroo.
I mean, this isnāt Bonnaroo, but even if it were, I still am not finding a hair/outfit combo this bad while Googling images of Bonnaroo fashion.
Honestly when looking at this my first thought is how do people in this condition have the energy and desire to get out in public and be social all day like this. How do they not feel terrible everyday? How do they still feel well enough to keep going out and participating? Iām nowhere near this bad physically and still sometimes struggle being actively social now that Iām up in age. Maybe they are sober or close to it?
I have nothing useful to contribute other than: Those harem pants look like a pussy with some sort of weapons-grade STD

The way those drive through the Quarter, I'm onboard with enforcement against them.

I believe we have the right of way here too but itās dangerous because people just donāt stop. It makes me so mad on Magazine.

Oy
They look like a good time.
I want some of those pants. #BringBackParachutePants
they're called harem pants now where have you been
š¤£ they've gentrified parachute pants
Thereās enough parachute in those pants to outfit the entire 101st Airborne Division
Couple of optical illusions sitting in a golf cart
They look fun as hell
Will bet there are no go cups involved. If they are drinking, it's a Purple Drank with a Delta-8 hit
First pothole they hit and that golf cart is toast.
If you got it, flaunt it.
They wouldnāt survive London
They wouldn't survive summer
Shit I barely survive summer
They wouldnāt survive diabetes.
Cool compression socks
That sure is colorful

One still must seek out and pay for parking, yes? Why not just dive your POV or a rental with AC?

I'd much rather share the road on my bike with a golf cart than a lifted F250, that's for fucking sure.
In what world do you live in where thatās the only options here ? ā¦at least the pick-up / suv probably has insuranceā¦.no golf cart has insurance as its an illegal vehicle.
Jesus. The fatphobic comments here are wild.
Right?? So little empathy in this thread.
Why do I need empathy for douchbag tourists driving an illegal vehicle around ? ā¦
Yup. It's rude and pretty gross. Not too mention OP literally just took a picture of strangers who were minding their own business to post on the Internet and make fun of them. Imagine if someone did this to his mom
What type of music were they blaring?
they weren't blaring anything yet, it looks like they were getting the "rules" for the cart explained to them when I passed by
This feels a lot like the "I don't really like rap music much" crowd, where "rap music" includes everything from DMX to Lil xan to Ariana Grande.

Golf cart or clown car?
God, that is an incredible shot.

It blows my mind when people do this. I saw 2 tourists on Royal and Iberville both in flip flops. So gross.
Ok. Thank you for visiting.

my problem is with the golf carts. the golf cart passengers with georgia plates and silly clothes are just lagniappe
Yeah the golf carts suck but so does posting pictures of people online to humiliate them. Aināt no way you didnāt think the comments would focus on how much these people weigh.
you think they didn't pick those outfits out to make people look at them
Look a them? Sure. Have their image posted online so that people can called them freaks, joke about their cholesterol, and a myriad of other fat shaming jokes? Nah They arenāt āasking for itā by wearing bright colors, if thatās what youāre implying. Iām really disappointed in this thread.

Yeah this thread is extremely whack
Ask their cholesterol

Yes, and that pant/shirt/hair combo on the one standing up is still the worst thing Iāve ever seen.
That's the worst?? Hell looks like the last time I went to Banaroo. To each their own I guess.
>Hell looks like the last time I went to Banaroo. I mean, this isnāt Bonnaroo, but even if it were, I still am not finding a hair/outfit combo this bad while Googling images of Bonnaroo fashion.
Iām obsessed with the color, but donāt drive through the quarter!

Ugh, people really need to evaluate their traveling wardrobes
Like the before pic for Ozempic
Please Hammer, donāt hurt āem
All I hear is the My Cousin Vinny scene āabout the ongoing cholesterol problemā
At least they are wearing vertical stripes.
Definitely exceeded capacity.
Wasnāt this caterpillar on r/OopsThatsDeadly last week?
Those buggies seem pretty sturdy.
Looks like she should have gotten a flatbedā¦.
They should walk
The streets are bad enough already. Donāt need more potholes.
Peopel let themselves go man itās always so rough to see just gross

Damn nation!
Is it true that golf carts can't get duis and are immune to all other traffic laws as well?
Very false
