Communists took control of the road department and said stupid shit like "creating more lanes just makes more traffic!" They're actively building road features to "encourage public transport." They're meddling dickweeds who ruin shit on purpose to sell this retarded lie.
and you only had to drive 15 minutes to "get away from it all" in any direction
Where I grew up this is still true.
What is the ideal number of people on the earth?
This is a meaningless data point. You can't control it and the number itself depends on the level of available technological advancement of the planet as a whole, which itself is partially a function of the number of people that exist to create and drive those advancements.
We're biological. Nature knows what to do even if we don't.
things sure were better back in those days.
Yea.. because we held communists in contempt and didn't let them get their hands on anything other than shitty university positions.

"Let's add bike lanes! But wait, those bike lanes aren't safe, so let's add posts and shrink lanes more!"
As no one really uses bike lanes and the rest of the roads are broken and worn down because it also makes it more difficult to shut down a lane and repave.
Bike lanes are stupid. Also fails to teach you how to properly signal on a bike, so you end up being some unpredictable ass hat when you are forced into a road without bike lanes.
Which then gives incentive to add more bike lanes.
A- fucking MEN! Brother. I hate them and those that use them! Fuck cyclists. They think they OWN all of the roads in Colorado. Visited there and it was terrible! prick cyclists everywhere and the cities cater to them.
I used to bike to the bus stop when I lived in Cedar Rapids, and it was a city ordnance you had to use the road. Hell, I once rode a bike on the highway for miles to pike up a layaway (remember those?).
but I had the decency and common sense to get the hell out of the way when a car was behind me...
I also think any ordnance that mandates road use is a bit silly, as sidewalks should be used by children and should always be an option for people to get off the road if needed.
One important thing that cyclists also need to remember is that they are usually considered a vehicle, so they have to treat pedestrians the same as if they were in a car.
If you can keep up with the speed of traffic I don't mind cyclists too much..but they need to know how to signal.
My personal favorites are the ones who have turn signals on their bikes.
As for keeping up with traffic, you're not there to spin your pedals as if it's exercise when you're on the road: If you have modern day thumb shifts (which are WONDERFUL) you should be able to quickly shift up and down with ease to keep yourself moving.

This has nothing to do with "communists", it's just simple math. You widen the roads, travel times become faster again with the car, more people take the car instead of public transport and the roads clog up again. Simple logic just as this picture is:
No.. it also involves logic, which you have applied none of here.
You widen the roads, travel times become faster again with the car, more people take the car instead of public transport and the roads clog up again.
The number of people taking the roads is not a function of how long the road takes or how much public transport there is. It's a function of total population density and overall economic activity in the area.
How many repair businesses can take public transport? How many plumbers? How many total deliveries with trucks can you take?
You have literally fallen for communist propaganda. Your city is not primarily made up of "worker bees" who just need a way to get from work to home.
Simple logic just as this picture is:
You have substituted a picture for thinking. The communist mind virus got you. Sorry you had to find out this way.
You are suffering from a mind virus called being overly emotional which makes you think in black and white terms.
Equating calculations on throughput on roads with Communism is an absolute joke and is basically the same thing as the left saying that math is racist.
You are now basicaly saying that math is communist!!

They think the painted white line between the them and traffic is the bike lane. I have a train horn on my truck for those douchebags.
