[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is full American idiocy on display. And not only that, but doubling down on it too.

American car culture sucks ass, and so does American urban planning.  [/quote]

Traditional American urban planning absolutely does not suck it is thw best part of America. The end result of Urbanist lunacy promoted by YIMBYs and biker bros is everyone living tiny expensive Soviet style apartments towers. Don’t ruin the suburbs you don’t even live in with mixed used 24 hour bars (in residential neighborhoods) and high density apartments. [/quote]

If suburbanism really was that great, you wouldn't be here complaining about a few bike lanes in DC.

Obviously you and your neighbors hate your commutes and are absolutely miserable from it, and you can't stand the idea of anyone not being as miserable as you. Especially those city folks.

Sorry your plan to live 30 miles from work and hurtle into town in a 5,000 pound SUV isn't working out like you dreamed. Maybe you would be less stressed out if you worked in the same burb that you live? Then you wouldn't have to face the two-wheeled scourge. [/quote]

I’m complaining about bike lanes because they are trying to put them in my suburban area where no one will use them. They are poorly utilized in DC and it doesn’t even make sense to put them there either. [/quote]

We have bike lanes out here in suburbia too. Storck uses them once or twice a year for his tours of south county. Completely worth it!

Note, our area has been rebranded Potomac Banks to make it more attractive. [/quote]

To be fair, you also have roads out there that aren't really used much. However that's seen as a good thing and advertised as a "quiet street" or some other euphemism. [/quote]
