      My US city’s downtown area is 35% open air parking lot. Another 25% is road surface.

      Our city council keeps bemoaning the decay of the downtown area. We keep sending them letters, speaking at council meetings, and advocating for something other than building more car shit.

      What was their big “look at how amazing our city is!” thing recently? That’s right! Freeway expansion so people can get downtown faster. I’m sure that’ll fix it.
