Yeah, expanding roads always works. 🙄 We can look like Houston with freeways everywhere and still have traffic!

Of course, devoting unlimited public space to cars means there will be no traffic! Just look at Los Angeles and Houston.

Right, so where do you propose expansion? Basically 99% of land is already occupied, unless you wanna knock down more homes along the LIE to add lanes

You're joking right? I'm gonna assume you're being satirical.... I hope. Adding more lanes to the LIE would not help, that's already been proven by traffic engineers for decades.

I think the people that live there do, you realize destroying homes nowadays for highways, here in NYC at least, is an absolute non-starter right? You'd be up your ass in lawsuits before you even hit the planning phase, let alone begun the probably 5-10 year environmental review.

Gtfo, suburbanite. If you study modern urban planning, you would know that cars destroy cities. Also, nyc is the safest big city in america. Take your MAGA spoonfed BS back to facebook

It places me as an educator. Thank you for coming to class. Your homework for tomorrow is to research induced demand in relation to the american highway system.

Okay then, you fail the class. Good luck getting taken seriously in life, when you cant even attempt to see an opposing argument. Back to clogging our streets and polluting the earth it is!

You're beyond debate, but I just want to add that bike lanes were started in earnest under Bloomberg, a republican, so it's cute you believe this is a democratic "problem"

Also okay that's fine to support additional roads. So you volunteer your house on Long Island to demolish for new roads then yeah?

Then keep your car wherever you live. Park it there. Take the train or bus in. Problem solved.

Sorry, where is this train ride and series of subways that will cost you thousands a month?

if you’re that attacked to your car, I recommend living anywhere but America’s only transit-as-default city.
