    This illustrates very well how broken our economic system is lol. What benefits “the economy” (GDP) is not what benefits real people/communities.

      It’s also well documented by strongtowns how car infrastructure specifically devastates local communities and bankrupts cities due to how exorbitantly expensive it is. Long car commutes may increase the GDP of a country, but local areas suffer.
