Definitely agree that to whatever degree (if at all) vendors are required to work with city planners and transportation networks, it’s not enough. Transportation and logistics are too complex and delicate for the disruption approach of the tech sector and it can severely degrade or even endanger people’s lives.
I live on a small side street of an exit just before a horribly designed junction of two highways. A couple years after we moved in, we noticed that suddenly rush hour traffic was overflowing through the exit. Our street isn’t even remotely designed for that kind of traffic. Now we had an endless train of honking, angry drivers that effectively blocked us in our drive way. If someone on our street has an emergency, they’re fucked.
For whatever reason, it’s gotten better the past couple years and only pops up when there’s an accident on the interstate. Hoping and praying is a poor mitigation strategy, though.
