"Completely" is a quantifier.

A quantifier of intensity not a quantifier of quantity. This is really not that hard.

you still haven't supported your point from the original source

See, this is not how these things work. You're the one who made a claim about the content of this article. I showed you you're wrong. That is my point. End of story.

Can you point me to the quantifiers in your quotes or the article?

Maybe you should do something about your terrible reading comprehension: https://elt.oup.com/student/solutions/preint/grammar/grammar_03_012e

So, after I explained to you, several times, that nobody wants to rip out all roads, you continue to drone on about that. Yeah, I can see why you fall for right-wing nonsense.

Well, good luck, and have fun barking up all the fantasy trees in your mind! 👋

PS: you totally should visit Seoul or/and Utrecht sometime. You know, might broaden your horizon a bit.

The title is "cities need to be entirely served by trams for transporting goods"?

Are you sure you can actually read?

Yeah, I can help you with that: "removing roads completely" does not specify how many roads are to be removed, only that the ones being removed are removed completely, as opposed to partially.

"Removing all roads" on the other hand means removing all roads, as opposed to, e.g., some, or many.

There, that was easy, wasn't it?

Mh, why do you think it never grew beyond "one line serving one location"? 🤔

We did have more extensive tram services transporting goods in the past: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geschichte_der_Straßenbahn_in_Hannover#Güterstraßenbahn

You know, before this country became the world's largest car exporter and started to dismantle its train network...

such a system would not be scalable to serving an entire city.

Lol, nobody is talking about entire cities, but do go ahead talking about strawmen.

Oh, you're basing your opinions on fact-twisting headlines of right-wing "newspapers", instead of, you know, reading the actual article where even they have to paint the picture just a liiittle bit differently.

You do understand the difference between "removing roads completely" and "removing all roads", right?

You do understand nobody is talking about ripping out all roads everywhere, right?

Right?
