Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

    Thank you that’s a helpful explanation. I found (find) the name of the group misleading if that’s the case, though I understand group names are supposed to be catchy.

      How is it misleading? It’s right there in the community description. It’s been this way ever since the time it was an advocacy community on reddit obsessed with the not just bikes YouTube channel. There are some issues that always come inextricably integrated, abortion and contraception, school shootings and gun laws, police violence and racism, and car centric culture and zoning laws. Without cars we don’t have the need for a slew of laws meant exclusively to accommodate cars. Overly wide streets, exclusive residential zoning, mandatory parking space, to name but a few. Sorry the community isn’t called fuckdetachedsinglefamilyhomes but it just wasn’t that catchy.
