The increasing size of American cars has done a lot of damage to our roads. They’re less safe for the roads, for pedestrians, and even sometimes for the occupants.
Tangentially, thanks to red light structure in the city, I often make just as much forward progress as the cars around me on my bike.

The roads are bad because sprawling road (read: car) infrastructure is unsustainable and bankrupts cities. What we need is economically sustainable micromobility and public transit infrastructure.

Building roads is only sexy every twenty years or so. Maintaining roads has never been sexy, to my knowledge.
Moving away from roads and cars almost entirely? I dunno how we get political will for that.

Well I can’t say building or maintaining roads gets me sexually aroused, but why is maintaining roads not “sexy”?
