As someone who loves driving, I want much better pedestrian infrastructure everywhere, but especially in the US.
The better the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, the safer both driving and walking gets.
I am a Swede, I live in a municipality with one of the lowest tax rates here, but I would gladly increase it, a year or two ago there was national news that families had to move from this municipality as their kids was not given the legally mandated assistance in school. As someone who needed and got special help in school when I grew up, and now is a well functioning adult who contributes to society, I want the students of today to have the same or better help than I got, and frankly it is fucking embarrassing that the local school can't provide the legally mandated assistance.
I feel the same way here, this is fucking embarrassing, any sane mayor would be ashamed of themselves when seeing this in their jurisdiction, as should anyone living in the area while demanding lower taxes.
If conservatives had shame about reasonable things, a lot of problems would go away.
