I don't understand why we keep on building right next to highways which are some of the worst things for our health. You don't need to live in the countryside for that. Just stay roughly 1km away from them and the situation is significantly better.
There is evidence of a lot of ugly diseases caused by this, without even mentioning the constant 40+ dB background noise.
- pasc1878 2mo agoIn London that is difficult – there is not a lot of space. Plus the idea of having everything within a 15 minute walk including access to public transport.
- vincnetas 2mo agohighway != public transport And pollution from bus or tram is much easier to control. Looking at you petrolheads who like to "Rolling coal"
- pasc1878 2mo agoYes but in London you are never far from a highway you cannot get away from them. In London now many if not most buses are electric.
- inigyou 2mo agoBecause the highways are built to the places where people and jobs are? Once you build anything of significance, a highway gets built to it anyway.
