[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there’s *space* for more car friendliness.  Do you want to replace the national mall with parking lots?[/quote]

They actually looked at building one underneath which would have been a dream idea. They also need to stop this development nonsense, especially building multi families and apt buildings without dedicated parking . It's chaotic. And btw I don't own a car and I pretty much walk/bus. Metro makes me shudder. [/quote]
Right now what’s going on is that the entire academic field of urban planning has willfully misunderstood how causation works. There is literally one study on “induced demand” that proves the invaluable point that if you build or expand a freeway, a couple decades later it will be congested. So they idiotically believe that if you take away road capacity it decreases congestion and this idea has basically taken over the zeitgeist. Meanwhile, while these people are trying to turn cities into medieval villages, the biggest economic  growth in the region is happening in Fairfax.[/quote]
