You see it all the time, idiots, mostly civil engineers, with the intent of removing all roads from the map of earth, claim that adding lanes to 76 will cause some sort of apocolyptic end times scenario. As if Daniel's dreams weren't about Babylon but a stretch of crucial highway transit.
The phrase "induced demand" induces a headache every time. Truly these people seem to think "demand" is something bad. The truth is the lack of development on 76 has caused many Billions of dollars of damage to our region. The best those fat-on-the-government-teet engineers can give us is a 5 billion dollar, 8000 foot extension to a unused 'high speed rail line'. MORONS.
Should we build a railway to connect to the west coast? NO! That would Induce Demand and that's bad! Should we build a road to connect Rome to Constantinople? No! Road are bad! the Silk road was evil!
Demand is good. There is almost endless untapped demand that won't get released into economic dollarydoos because 76 is a parking lot of traffic.
With a double decked 8 lane each way, people could easily work in the city and live in the suburbs. With a double decked 8 lane each way we could have MORE economic integration between the city and suburbs. Imagine the tens of thousands people move easily, to live in Cherry Hill and commute to KoP, or have a second office, these city-slut-mongors are obsessed with making transit, not easy as they claim, but literally so impossible we are all stuck in the shithole. Plus who likes city taxes?
Let us unleash the economic power of Philadelphia by INDUCING GREAT ECONOMIC GROWTH. EMBRACE THE DEMAND! MEET THE DEMAND! SUCCEED THE DEMAND!
