    a group of hopping mad local business owners claim that the lack of street parking will make shopping a nightmare for car-bound customers and will cause problems for people with mobility issues.

    I’ve not known anyone to be bound to their car. Also, isn’t transit much more friendly to those with mobility issues than a car would be?

    They lied. They cheated, and tried to astroturf the issue with bots. For that reason, their voices should carry no weight ever again.

      Automated road building, AI created prefabs, and a ton of work from home may get us past the cost of living crisis. Its got a lot more upside than down side in my view.

      Bureaucracy also stands no chance against AI, we can eliminate the crazy make work projects we are littered with these days.

        Well if it was actually AI then maybe, instead we have LLMs which are not capable of doing any of that.

        Curious what you mean by automated road building. The only ‘advancement’ I’ve heard of in that regard is the John Deere-partnership, but the actual use case for that is extremely narrow, and the costs of the equipment so severely outweigh the benefits of reduced staffing that its not economically feasible.
