A number of solutions.

1.Peripheral urban parking, such as on old industrial lands. Use mass transit or an NEV to move between the downtown work core and parking zones.

2. Bring more jobs outside of the downtown, requiring less people to be transported there. The less dense commercial parks would be easier to find parking at, especially of the land is company owned or leased, where downtown it is often municipal or owned/managed by a 3rd party parking company unrelated to the employer.

3. Bring more workers and living amenities nearer downtown, where they can commute with mass transit, an NEV, or walk/cycle.

It might be be, it might be camp, but apart from the actual food, I like mass printed color mateirals form that era. I suppose it is a combination of the film process/stock used to shoot those pictures, and the technology/inks used to mass print them that gives them that certail look I kind of like.

I live in a community that has a number of Amish families and we get along with them.

They use small gas engines left and right, and "mainline" diesel power engines, as well as minimal electricity for when they absolutely need it.
They are a bit more liberal about what "need" is though.
It stays out of the house, and they cannot have fixed electric lights, refrigeration, phones, or radios on the property, but are okay with renting it from neighbors.
They cannot use engines for "motive" power, they must pull with horses or a person. They use the old time manual reel lawn mowers, if they keep a lawn.
They are perfectly okay with hiring out certain jobs to people that do have equipment and can operate it.

We also live near a "sect" of Mennonites, which can have tractors, but can only use them for field work or their PTO power, never at the same time, and would sooner do "hand" tasks with unpowered tools.

Permanently, maybe the older suburbs of a major city.

Transiently, I'd like to winter in the city, one like Toronto, if not it, working a retail or warehouse job.
In the summer an outside infrastructure job, like building highways or electrical/communications infrastructure.

How about the Styx album Mr. Roboto, it could have been made into a movie, but wasn't.

Some Prog Rock albums could be made into short films, since a lot of them wore concept albums that told a story.

I have heard of a theory that "Popular" music runs in a cycle, loosely related to the economic mood of the time, and a 13 year or so cycle. The more positive the economic mood, the more upbeat pop is popular, the lower the economic mood, the more heavier an punky sounds are popular. A good example is the 1990s, which as an economic downturn peaked, so did the popularity of Grunge and the Madchester scene. As the economy picked up in the late 90s, "pop" became popular, with the rise of BritPop and a number of Boy Bands, and that scene waning as the economy turned down in the early 00s.

They just software "twiddle" the step/dir lines on the floppy controller with software, with pulses equating the frequency they need, but they cannot get to high a frequency.

In the scanner, its stepper motor is directly driven by the micro (with a driver IC of course), and can directly pout any frequency it wants on the motor.

Americans (Canadians anyways) often tend to buy fuel by the dollar (usually rounded to the $5 or $10 mark), rather than by volume, so a volume only sale would be no good.

The pumps do need refitted. A cheap way would be to remark the 10th/cent roller to be the cent roller, since the 10th/cent place always seems to be set to 9, and set the read value/gallon to 1/10th.

A few points:

I think it is cut and dried. People and industry are expecting it and gearing up for it.

The Government (in the USA anyways), wants to take some TV channels for two way communications (they will auction the spectrum off, hence it is their financial interest).

Existing perfectly operable analog TVs won't become useless, that is what the convertors are for. The voucher program was devised to make it easier for the
economically disadvantaged to get a convertor to keep the free OTA TV they receive.

US OTA won't be as good as Freeview in the UK, at least to begin with.
