It's really hard to reason with the car-brained NIMBYs, it seems... They want nothing short of "more cars." It's a cancerous idiology that can't see past the steering wheel, so to speak.

Clearly adding one more lane since forever will eventually payoff. It’ll trickle down any day now.

Today, i watched two incidents of selfish drivers trying to squeeze into the intersection when it was clear they would be blocking when the light turned. Traffic completely halted on York and Adelaide by two idiot drivers

But yeah, it's the bikes that are the problem

Drivers are really stupid...

everyone driving around with these dash cams and other devices, why can't other drivers take pics of these people and submit them to have them fined?

each photo from a different perspective is and additional ticket. the more people you annoy the more it costs.

(better would be automatic cameras at intersections)

We don't need shelters. If the homeless just suffer more sleeping in the parks in the dead of winter, they might just stop being homeless! If the homeless have doubled in recent years, it's because they have it too easy!
