Induced demand is also known as latent demand. If your roads are so shit people just stay home, that's not a good thing.

Here's a short paper from Texas A&M university on the subject. More lanes reduces congestion. Follow the citations if you're interested.

That seems reasonable to me. Adding a lot of people without addressing how they will get around will only lead to diaster.

It's an odd oversight though.

Even if they secretly hate them, their actions speak louder than words.

The Republicans are making steps against abortion, against illegal immigration, against gun control. All things that the average Alabamian hates.

He has a D next to his name. Democrats have made it crystal clear they hate the South, Rural areas, and basically every thing about Alabama.

Why would you vote for someone who hates you?

What's stupid is I can get behind the idea, kids shouldn't be watching porn, but the way they're going about is just so stupid I can't defend it

No where. I like America. What are my other options, realistically? Britain which just banned porn? Australia which banned Hentai? Canada, which is just America but cold and sky high housing costs?

If it's a synthetic possum, 5,000 miles is the usual recommended. But you can stretch it to 6 or even 7 thousand miles if you want to

I mean, maybe? But it'll cost a lot compared to places like China and India, so it'll be luxury cars only. And the market will basically be just Canada.

Jeff Bezos will eat their lunch with the Slate truck.

 

Dunno if it really fits here, but I figured it was worth sharing and there isn't anywhere else it would go
