Thanks for the explainer. I guess we should do the same thing to the Internet. If it's slower, less people will use it.

  Internet capacity isn't scaled by replacing public spaces with toxin-emitting machines, and you can't be hit by one of those machines while crossing the Internet to get to local businesses. Whether or not you like cars, they're simply not sustainable. It's great that you have one and take advantage of the government subsidies, but it's not a thing that future generations are going to do.

    Perhaps we should come up with a replacement before we degrade our infrastructure and reduce the efficiency we had. Also, your statement above basically admits that the infrastructure is being degraded "for the greater good", which is not what your responses above it claim. They claim that reducing traffic capacity results in less usage, but with no mention of the downside. And your other response above implies that road maintenance is bankrupting suburban cities, but it's entirely possible that those cities are simply not properly prioritizing/managing their spending, which is a common problem in California politics.
