Or, hear me out, what if you also had fewer square miles of roads to maintain? Maybe, just maybe, if you didn’t have as many lanes and narrower lanes you’d have a whole lots less to maintain the first place! I think it’s a crazy idea, but if the sarcasm hasn’t set in yet, here’s your final clue: holy fuck stop having so much asphalt you idiots!
My old US city only has about 180k population and it’s a usual US design. It has over 8 square miles of road to maintain! It’s crazy what we keep doing.
They could attempt a public transit system comparable to every comparable sized city in the country.
