Nearly every part of the bill will achive the oposite of its goals. It will not speed you up. It will not end gridlock.

What it will do is continue car dependency, continue unsustainable and unaffordable single family home sprawl, continue to create unfair transport systems for anyone unable to drive. It will increase municipal spending on roads, it will strip control and power away from municipalities and at the rate we are going, it will be illegal to protest it.

We are already behind on transit development, denser housing, and meeting climate goals. This bill is going to push us even farther behind. It is the opposite of a solution and will continue the planning decisions that have already pushed this country to its limit. Why do we refuse to build a functional country? Why have we let a crook involved in a multi billion dollar land scandal stay in power?
