The drivers don't always behave responsibly though, that's the problem. And the cost to a resident who's ass-to-ankles with an inappropriately fast road right outside their front door can be a lot higher than it is to a random driver.
It's reasonable to ask for decent urban design. It just doesn't need to be fueled by some weird bugman nerds who want to play simcity with their political/cultural enemies.
Like my neighborhood is decently designed. There's faster, higher capacity streets that pass through, and drivers generally prioritize those over the more residential streets deeper in the neighborhood. Which is fine and good.
But one time, I was crossing a street at a stop sign, and I had the right of way, and some faggot blew through the stop sign and almost hit me. Now that's just some random faggot and that can happen anywhere, but I can imagine that would be frustrating if you had that kind of traffic outside your front door everyday. That would be a fair complaint to have.
Lol and speaking of fuckcars, there's a local politician in Baltimore who's raising the alarm against the carbrains:
Apparently this guy also tried to ban gas leafblowers totoo.
