Sure an extra lane can relieve congestion, for a bit then 10 years later you’re back to where you started or worse.
This is mostly due to the fact that American cities grow sprawl and not density. So basically unless there’s a population collapse adding another lane is a temporary solution.
That’s why they are basically always adding new lanes, they can’t keep up with the demand. So instead of continually trying to keep up with demand it’s time to work on reducing demand
I avoided bullying in school by being fucking oblivious. It was effective.
Maybe that could be taught
You don’t have to convince me you must convince the voters. That’s the whole point of this thread and the data makes it clear that to get people to show up and vote you have to demonstrate how you’re going to govern in ways that improves their lives. Crazy concept i know.
Also how fucking crazy to suggest the “non-voters” should be held responsible for not voting. That’s Trump levels of anti-democracy behavior. Best get those pesky 3rd party voters punished too, you thinking camps or a simple banishmment?
I do agree with the object permanence issue. But your the only one putting “feels over reals”. Like who votes based on comparative affordability to other nations. You vote based on your own situation.
I still blame the dems more though. One canidate is saying the economy is great, the other is saying that he will fix the economy. Many people were struggling to put food on the table their votes or lack thereof make sense.
Of course things just got worse, but you know you could at least try to campaign to the average person’s concerns.
This may come to shock you but when people vote on the economic issues within their own country they don’t reason “well I can’t afford housing, but compared to Denmark housing inflation in the US has actually increased at a much slower rate so I guess it’s fine”. They simply stop with “I can’t afford housing” because they vote for what they can change.
I fly at most 2-3 times a year, not privately. I have a feeling that these people are flying significantly more than that. So not only do they pollute more per flight they fly more frequently
The " best economy ever" gaslighting from the dems is almost certainly what lost them the election.
Sure stocks were great, but that’s meaningless if you can’t afford anything
There are a lot of people that don’t claim a party and simply vote based on the current economy leading up to an election. It’s not smart but you know
Seems a bit pedantic, but sure.
New roads are unlikely to fix issues in many places. Small to medium sized town building a new connector would be helpful. Not so helpful for anything large or metro sprawl. Those places mostly limit themselves to adding additional lanes with little result
