    HK population-dense And yet, they prioritized roads? Car brain right there?

    … given market rate for the land diverted Why should anybody agree to give up their land for roads? These might not be empty lands possessed decades ago, it might be ancestral family land for centuries. I don’t like that those lands are uncultivated, but putting down asphalt liberally everywhere is car-brain.

      Transportation of some sort is needed. It doesn’t matter if it is for bikes, trains, or cars. Land must be used for the good of the people. Absolute ownership, no matter the cost to society is capitalist-brain.

        I think your ire is misdirected, but I agree with the ire. The problem is the elevated road there! It serves car-brain, and that space could have been put to good use for the “low income” people as somebody put it, instead of catering to the “high income” people zooming above in cars.

          Transportation is necessary. Roads existed long before cars. You didn’t even watch the video. The problem was the road couldn’t handle a bus turning.
