Can you cite a single scenario where expanding lanes or adding bridges reduced auto traffic?

Hint: No, no you can't.

The things we Americans like about other countries are the walkable villages and neighborhoods and the super efficient mass transit. Why not support those things here, rather than 12 lanes to 16 lanes of I-270? Or yet another Potomac River crossing that does nothing to address the core issues.

OP,

You do such a good job pretending to be dumb Republican!

Clap clap clap.

They will vote for anyone who will reduce property taxes, thus starving the local schools for the next generation. This is why you're seeing the local school scores decline - over-crowding, larger classrooms, no investments for the future, and less resources for special needs. This is why MD schools have declined the past 4 years under Hogan.

They are a plague on the county.

I would love to see data to support these assertions, please. Thank you.

No kidding. Making abortion illegal doesn’t end it, just makes it more dangerous. Making birth control and health care easier to access lowers abortion rates.
so should rape be legal because it still happens? Why should I obey laws of things democrats ban?
