> If Seattle can survive for a couple of weeks without a major chunk of its freeway system, that’s a powerful indication that more modest steps to alter road capacity don’t really mean the end of the world.
That leaves out the fact that this is a three-week window that people know is temporary and have time to plan for.
After the new year everyone goes to the gym and eats better. But nobody would think of saying "if this continues until February, that's a powerful indication that obesity will soon come to an end."
- tomcam 8y agoI thought you were being obtuse when you used the phrase "a couple of weeks" but you read the article correctly: > In a few weeks, much of this capacity will be replaced by a new 3 billion dollar highway tunnel under downtown Seattle It's worded wrong. That tunnel won't be functional for years.
