The mental gymnastics (cognitive dissonance) our car dependent society uses to excuse the rollout of more roads is fascinating. There is no way that a new 'expressway' is good for anything - let alone boosting retail in a place that becomes bypassed. And if it does - encouraging #carDependency shopping is exactly what we need to reduce.🤦🏽 #breakCarCulture
