>>2060945I'm a professional driver. My depot is right off that interchange. Ive been there 100s of times....its all elevated highways cause of grift, under the pretenses of less footprint (area), clogged with more 2 ton coffee getters who should not be in professional drivers way.....thats why its the greatest of crimes.
Pouring resources into nowhere just encourages idiots to pretend its somewhere/keep doing more of the same. Trains are the only thing that has a right to exist, and run as little as possible. Conservancy/efficency more and more.
>not like thatInterstates should be FUCKING INTERSTATES, two lanes, federally cofounded, insulated from local traffic/development, with a dead end stem to the apron of a city, into traffic calming/intentional/disincentivise parasitic "visiting", IF it makes economic sense. Everything else is foot in the door/"spend your way out of debt" commie bullshit.
You could only justify a beltway if there is another city in every cardinal direction. Richmond has half of ANOTHER beltway in the east side, that they justified cause they orbited another "city that didn't work" around the first beltway which is faux conservative with more ceremonial toll collection.
So YES, bypasses only till proven otherwise.
