This legit happened to the entire US in the 50s and 60s, and has only sligjtly improved in the past 30 years
No, it’s gotten worse over the past 30 years.
They’ve removed a lot of the in city highways atleast in the east coast
Depends on where you are. It’s gotten much worse in Florida.
Hasn’t everything though?
Considering Florida is literally a sinking state physically and politically, I wouldn’t expect much
Disc golf has gotten better there. And Wawa has opened some stores. That is about it.
Eh, my mom did the park and ride thing and took the train to work in Orlando for a few years before she retired. It’s not enough, but a few cities are taking some steps in the right direction.
In TX not only have they added highway, but many new highways are Toll roads. Somehow the city councils get duped with a presentation that building another lane on the highway won’t help, but building two in the name of a private company will.
They don’t even take care of the toll roads as well as the public roads either.
We added 30,511 new freeway lane-miles of road in the largest 100 urbanized areas between 1993 and 2017, an increase of 42 percent. That rate of freeway expansion significantly outstripped the 32 percent growth in population in those regions over the same time period. Yet this strategy has utterly failed to “solve” the problem at hand—delay is up in those urbanized areas by a staggering 144 percent.
Probably just need that one last name added and it’ll finally pan out.
Robert Moses would have scoffed at that pic. You don’t build onramps around the historical buildings, you tear the historical buildings down.
The ad even falls it out directly
like Los Angeles
I didn’t know Westminster was in Houston.
Common misconception. It’s in Dallas
It’s pronounced ‘Winster’
Dont forget bow much a car dependent society empowers automobile manufacturers.
Well, duh?
lol, ouch
Source? What year was this from?
Uhhh…as someone in the UK, I would probably rethink holding us to some beacon of transport perfection. Our rail system is heavily privatised, and costs so much that we regularly see stories of how it would cost less to fly to mainland Europe and then to London instead of getting the train from say Bristol.
Nobody said we were holding you to perfection mate, we’re just enjoying your old ads
That’s the future (neo) liberals want for our country. Wake up!
Grey punch-buggy, no punch-backs.
