[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will also point out how myopic this group is: they only want to build more apartments, with no regard to infrastructure like traffic, schools, libraries, police and fire stations, parks to play in for all the kids who inevitably are going to end up living in those apartments. Any anyone who disagrees with them, or brings up any other angles (including schools), is immediately labeled a racist/bigot[/quote] Thats not really true. They want more housing because housing is expensive and simply supply/demand suggests if you build more housing, at least the rental rates aor ability to purchase wills stabilize. I do not know where anyone on this thread is posting from, but let's assume it is DC....there is plenty of school capacity, DC Water and PEPCO are building our infrastructure thanks to the IRA and rate increases;[b] road capacity isn't going to change, so that is why people support mass transit and bikes/scooters. Single occupancy vehicles are the biggest waste of space in the transportation landscape.[/b] Single family Housing is the least efficient way to house humans. That doesn't mean cars or SFH should be eliminated - no one is suggesting that. What they are advocating is a more rational allocation of land.[/quote] Wrong. Taking away traffic lanes to put in bike lanes hardly anyone uses is the biggest waste of space in the transportation landscape. And it is isn’t even close.[/quote] Scientific studies contradict your false assertion. [/quote] Lol, no, they don’t. There is no “scientific study” that shows that a bike lane with very few users is a better use of the space for transporting people than the heavily used car/bus lane it displaced. You don’t even need a “scientific study” to understand that. This is the kind of weird propaganda the gullible urbanists buy into though.[/quote] you could use google. We had a 100+ page thread in this forum you could search for the data as well.[/quote] A 100+ page thread in which people repeatedly proved you to not only be wrong but also a shameless liar.[/quote]
