Not saying we don't need to work on our "suburb mentality".

I am just saying taking away lanes so a hand full of people can ride bikes is insane.

What is needed is more lanes, improved transit, and electric cars.

(And mandatory carbon offsets)

Add carbon offsets to the price of energy, and when you burn your crud, the offsets plant trees, and lower the cost of electric vehicles, and solar and wind.

Neutral impact.
