Everyone wants to drive through other people's streets and wants no one to drive on theirs. Waze made it so this was evenly distributed. Of course the erstwhile privileged fear loss of privilege.
- nullc 7y agoThis isn't a fair read on the situation, the tension isn't between my streets and your streets, it's between major arterials and light residential streets. In many cases the arterials don't have anyone directly on them (or only commercial/industrial property)... specifically as part of their intended purpose. In fact, if the situation isn't addressed in a fair and intentional manner a my vs your issue will be created: wealthier residents will erect gates, block traffic, privatize roads, or move to other locations ... and leave everyone else to contend with the mess on their own access roads, without the political air cover of wealthier people also suffering the same roadway misuse problem.

This is a trade-off I am willing to accept. The navigation apps have no incentive to give you a worse experience by sending you down narrow roads.
