I think the Katy freeway should be a model for all roads. Every single shop and store should be fronted and backed by a 26 lane monstrosity of a slowly moving parking lot. /s

I find it impressive how stubborn people can be about building more roads. It’s a case of having only a hammer, so everything looks like a nail. Just hit it with more surface road and parking to make a place ‘better’ despite cars never making a city better for people, just briefly more convenient for the first cars until it blocks up the roads and makes being outside a terrible experience.
