That's like saying "I'm pro-life and anti-gun control".

Oh. Wait.

Edit: Guy confirmed that he is, indeed, pro-life and anti-gun control.

I dont like badly planned bike lanes. We have some on a main road near me where the bike lane is replaced with parking bays every 50 yards with no thought to how a bicycle is supposed to merge with traffic each time. You reach the end of each section, need to slow almost to a stop to turn out from the end of the lane because the barricade is about a metre from the first parked car in the bays

Yeah, it sounds kinda NIMBYist. I've heard pro-affordable-housing and anti-high-density zoning before, too, pro-economy and anti-labor, pro-labor and anti-union, pro-firefighter and anti-tax. The list goes on. I'm sure there are plenty of views with nuance, but it seems conflicted to me.

Does DaveCarr have sources?

NYC is a big place, NYS is even bigger.

He said it's basic math, isn't that enough source for you?

Oh no, a person that doesn't 100% agree. Burn them!

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The person doesn't agree at all

You sure? All I know about the person is a screenshot of a tweet

My default stance when someone says "I am a..." or similar online is to assume they're full of shit and not what they're claiming to be.

He doesn't understand the concept of induced demand
