Dear South Carolina

Yes, that's my point. You build roads you get congestion. You build more roads you get more congestion. It's time to start looking at alternatives so people don't have to sit in traffic.

Absolutely. Interstate bike paths.

Roads don't cause cars.

Expanding population causes more cars.

 

[BotanyBoy]

You must not have stayed there long.

I'm not a big fan of sulphur smelling air and tap water, oppressive heat/humidity, roaches, beetles, and gnats the size of pigeons. Ive got to say they have great shrimp and oysters!

Well yea, that's why I moved back to the PNW.

But if I had to pick a deep down dirty south town to post up in Savannah would be on the list of towns to shop. Gatlinburg TN and Wilmington NC would probably make up the top 3 choices myself.

But that's never going to happen.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

By the way Charleston is a MUCH nicer city than Savannah could ever hope to be...if that's an option.

I'd likely just keep movin' south instead.


I like Columbia and Charleston, too.


Sad . . . .

 

[water505]

Shhhh...don't confuse him.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yes, that's my point. You build roads you get congestion. You build more roads you get more congestion. It's time to start looking at alternatives so people don't have to sit in traffic.

I was there.


You weren't.


If you had been there with me . . .


you'd still be there.

 

[BotanyBoy]

So noted, and thanks for your response, and your honesty.

Any time.

I like Chattanooga, too.


But it's all kindsa in the wrong direction.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Roads don't cause cars.

Expanding population causes more cars.

Horse shit!!!



Sixteen year olds learning to drive causes cars.


And unsafe fuel filling. Don't spill gasoline.


And parking decks . . . .

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Roads don't cause cars.

Expanding population causes more cars.

The sad part is you really believe that.

 

[water505]

Sad . . . .

I lived in Columbia as a kid. It's okay, but Charleston is awesome. It makes Savannah look like the dump that it is.

 

[water505]

The sad part is you really believe that.

Oh, so roads DO cause cars?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I lived in Columbia as a kid, but Charleston is awesome. It makes Savannah look like the dump that it is.

Maybe if Sherman hadn't burned it . . . .


I guess that Florida it is then . . . unless everything changes.


I wouldn't miss snow, tho'.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Oh, so roads DO cause cars?

Whether you choose to believe it or not.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

The sad part is you really believe that.

Expanding populations mean less cars if you tear up all the roads?





Your stupidity tonight is embarrassing...

Then why should tonight be any different.

Stamp your feet and insult all you want, it doesn't change facts.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Stamp your feet and insult all you want, it doesn't change facts.

You have yet to present anything other than opinion, and it isn't very bright.

That you're stupid?

He probably thinks trailer parks attract tornadoes.

We’ll spare you the calculus in the report. Here’s the upshot: “Roads cause traffic.”


https://www.wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-traffic-induced-demand/
"A more likely explanation, Turner and Duranton argue, is what they call the fundamental law of road congestion: New roads will create new drivers, resulting in the intensity of traffic staying the same."


http://theconversation.com/do-more-roads-really-mean-less-congestion-for-commuters-39508
"The first concept you need to get your head around is called induced demand.

Think about the street on which you live. If a new road makes driving to work quicker, you may benefit from that, but this reduced travel time might be enough to encourage two other people in your street to start driving; and two more people in the next street; and two more people in the street after that; and so on. Very quickly the drive to work takes just as long as it ever did."


Let me know if I should keep going or if you'd like to present any evidence to the contrary.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

So, we tear down and dismantle Anhauser-Busch and cure alcoholism???


Silly fucker, they'll drink Sterno or rubbing alcohol. They're alcoholics, ffs!!!

Soylent Green?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Some of that 12 Monkeys disease.


Wait, that's not such a bad idea.


Let's try it out on the GB first!!!

[Adre]

In FL I'm partial to Naples, in GA I like St. Simons Island and Savannah, in SC it's Beaufort, Greenville, Charleston and Hilton Head Island.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I ain't never been to Naples.


One thing that has some bearing on where I'm looking is the job. The company has work in some of these larger places, and they specialize in the Southeast, so moving that way makes sense.


They'll also commute me, which is nice.
