Traffic levels have been the same for 60 years showing induced demand in action. No matter how many car lanes you start with, or how many you add later, they will always be full.

Hate cars. But atleast the car designs back then looked nicer than the blocks of today

The amount of innovation and technology that has gone into cars themselves, whilst completely failing to address the broader problem of "how build civilization" is staggering...

... but completely makes sense in neo-liberal capitalism.
