Entropy, not outrage, is coming for Halifax’s fantasy planning model. You can’t build a functioning city on ideology, fantasy, and bad bike lanes. Stein’s Law says a crash is inevitable.
The notion of ideas eventually collapsing is cold comfort to those trying to get to work, to a hospital or specialist appointment or a funeral or wedding. How long do we have to wait? 5, 10 25 years before the zealots at city hall have finally retired with golden pension benefits?
This bike lane issue needs a complete STOP and rethink before we spend another dollar n a bollard or an electron talking about what has become a failed exercise.
I have heard the paternalistic comments about "we don't know what is good for us" from the left wing about 40 years ago. They were wrong then and are wrong now.
