Typical Urban Planning Opinion Progression

posted by Jason Kottke Sep 25, 2023

XKCD comic about titled Typical Urban Planning Opinion Progression

From XKCD, the progression of people's opinions about cars & urban planning, from "I wish there wasn't so much traffic to get into the city. They should put in more lanes." to "Anything that makes a city a worse place to drive makes it a better place to live." As The War on Cars said on Bluesky, "Randall Munroe, welcome to The War on Cars."

P.S. Re: putting in more lanes, read up on induced demand and road dieting for why that's often not a great idea.
