Not really, we removed a TON of stuff to make way for roads. We're over 100 years out of date, its just a matter of funding.

In the before shot the whole place is full of trees. So so many trees, I can see like 1/20th of them in the later picture.

The kicker is that each inch of that highway is a money sinkhole. In maintenance and lost tax from land ownership tax that will not be paid.

Ugh. Jesus christ.

And yet, people living in vehicles are 'homeless' and looked down upon. They've left no room for anything else to be realistic

it does kind of remind me of the drill "Candles" tweet except the candles hear are automobile infrastructure. Another terrible ramification of all these roads is that unlike the housing there before it all creates polluted stormwater runoff. This is runoff that destroys aquatic habitats if left untreated
