    There’s a lot of "should"s in there that just don’t reflect reality. Because of how so many American towns and cities are built, you’d have to bulldoze entire cities to do things like eliminate small traffic lights from residential neighborhoods. And we’re not gonna do that. We’re not going to tear down the entire fucking nation for some retards on bicycles.

      New towns are areas are ALSO designed poorly. It’s not just existing areas that have been made wrong, new areas are still being designed by idiots with blinders on.

      Weird how other countries manage just fine without bulldozing. What they actually do is switch up road lanes and on-street parking, and it fits just fine.

      Having multiple lanes in between level intersections adds pretty much nothing to the capacity anyway, so you may as well use it for something useful.

      Terminal carbrain: not realizing that getting more people on bikes means fewer cars, less traffic and a nicer trip for literally everyone, including cars.
