John Norquist on How to Fix National Transportation Policy
“It’s not roads versus transit — it’s good street networks-plus-transit versus mindless building of out-of-scale roads. I mean they’re basically putting rural roads into urbanized areas and it’s counterproductive, it reduces the value of the economy, it destroys jobs, destroys real estate value. For what, so you can drive fast at two in the morning when you’re drunk?”
i always found traffic to be incredibly interesting. and i’ve always thought that most of the problems in the US and the world stem from poor planning. sometimes you can’t get everyone to agree in time to plan well. too bad i’m not in charge.
