Still waiting for a source on cities like SF having spent "many billions" on bike infrastructure. You really did just make that up, didn't you?
Look, if you want a serious discussion, maybe don't, like, lie?
> In LA less than 50% of the transit budget is spent on roads, despite them being the primary facilitator of transport.
1. What's the cumulative investment there? LA spent decades building out freeways, after all. It takes a while to turn that ship around.
2. LA is explicitly turning away from car-centric design and spending because it didn't work. They're the poster child for it, and traffic is the worst in the country. Maybe more transit and bike spending won't completely 'solve' traffic, but going by other cities' examples, they should be able to make it less bad.
