I feel sorry for them. But then again, this is what they want.

  • They oppose making parking expensive.

  • They oppose bus lanes

  • They oppose bike lanes.

  • They oppose trains

  • They oppose train stations.

  • They oppose congestion pricing.

They oppose any measure that might reduce car dependency.

It's only 16 lanes. Have they try 32 lanes?

They want to build a tunnel underneath it to add more lanes, so unironically yes.

The key feature is, this /c won’t be able to post overhead pictures of the underground traffic.

It's around 18 or 19 at its widest so it isn't like they aren't trying.

This topic just reminded me of AI. We are told we just need to build more capacity and AI will get better and more reliable. Just one more lane(data centre) and we’ll solve all the issues.
