Comment Re:Induced demand is BS (Score 1) 149

A badly engineered freeway is not a reason to not have a well-engineered freeway. Meanwhile, in Oakland, traffic is awful, and meanwhile, on the SF side of Treasure Island, there is still a double-decker bridge and a shit ton of miserable traffic that largely keeps be from going into SF even though I want to. The demand is there. The motherfucking traffic engineers make life hell. Oh, and that new stretch of the Bay Bridge? What a fucking joke. It's ugly as fuck, poorly designed, and carries way to little traffic as it pours into the horribly designed SF road system that traffic engineers also refuse to fix. Hell, they TOOK AWAY a freeway into the city. How fucking stupid is that? Traffic engineers are awful.

Your arguments are pathetic. You're playing semantic games, splitting the unsplittable. Need versus demand? Fuck off. People need homes. People demand homes People need to work. People demand work. Cars on freeways often take them from one place to another. People need cars. People demand cars. Thus they demand roads. Need roads. Traffic engineers, whose jobs should be to meet the needs and demands of the people who employ them, instead try to control the people who employ them. All they end up doing is making life fucking miserable for everyone. So fuck you and fuck your transparent bullshit.

When the road widens, it meets a need, which means more people consume it. When they make the road too expensive to consume, people consume it less. We should have double-decker freeways and people zipping along from wherever they want to be. If you want to deal with sprawl, then plan sensibly. Do not use the roads as a misery choke point. Traffic engineers are fucking assholes, every last one of them.
