Dr Julie BlommaertThe National party is just a landlord and a couple of roads in a trench coat
Honestly though can you think of a more boring, uninspired, and useless policy than MORE ROADS
“Build it and they will come” wasn’t just a movie quote, it’s infrastructure advice
Build more roads? Get more car traffic
Build more light rail? Get more light rail passengers (fewer personal vehicles)
Build more safe cycling infrastructure? Get more cyclists (fewer personal vehicles)
Make other public transport more convenient, cheaper and accessible? Get more people using it!
It’s not fucking brain surgery
Odradek@drjulie_b but if we subsidise big cars we make our voter AND our sponsors happy while these antidemocratic laws of nature don't even compromise!
