Emergency vehicles in some cities can emit a signal that changes lights from red to green. It's a felony to spoof those devices, but people still get caught doing it. I'm sure a system can be made resilient to a single bad actor,

There's a lot of people (in the US at least) that see appreciating property values as inevitable. Combined with views associating dense housing with urban ghettos from the 80s, it's one of the reasons people think building more ho
