The best part is, I didn't have to watch this and neither do you. The video title says it all.
YouTube recommendations be like, "I see you watching videos about how zoning and cars have destroyed urban centers in the US" and still suggests garbage like this.
it runs through major cities, which usually destroyed impoverished non-white communities
they're constantly doing repairs on it that never seem to actually get completed
traffic engineering is a bullshit field that somehow hasn't caught on to induced demand after like 70 years
There's actually research going back to the 60s that knew induced demand was bunk.
The problem is the auto industry and the fossil fuel industry lobbies congress continually for more road funding. Something insane like 80% of DoT funds on average are earmarked for auto infrastructure.
Now after 80+ years of these policies and advertising American car culture is a reactive force against funding other modes of transport.
The repairs part reminds me of Player Piano, where road work is the only physical labor left after near complete automation.
