    Do you think the people here care about sound arguments? Nobody except for a select few hyper-fit nutjobs are ever going to walk even so much as an 1/8th of that images span for anything. The area is far too large to want to walk, so we use it for transit instead. Forget that it transports millions of people, products, goods, etc. They want it to house hundreds of people instead.

    People who will then not be able to get those products and goods, because…they fuckin’ ripped the road out!

      Is it just me, or are the Lemmy fuck cars communities a lot more infested with trolls like this guy☝️ than the one on Reddit was?

      Sound arguements are fine, but the interchange is literally in the middle of the 4th(?) largest city in the US, not the middle of nowhere. Houston is also known for a huge amount of sprawl which is literally caused by the amount of space the 10+ lane roads take up.

        Is America running out of space or something? Yeah it’s a concern when there is limited space, but America is mainly “empty” the sprawl doesn’t affect them.

          “Hm yes if we inefficiently use all this space then we can destroy all this perfectly good agricultural land and make space for more cars!”

            What’s inefficient about vertical farming? There’s plenty of green area even in the Picture that’s posted, could easily put a bike and pedestrian network through there. If it was needed.

            There’s always solutions, but it’s also just easier to bitch and moan instead.

              Cost. It’s a lot more expensive to build vertical. Additionally you need lighting that would wouldn’t need otherwise.

                The capacity more than makes up for it. You could also grow in cold climates where you can’t normally as well.

                The benefits are there.
