Come on. Google is a click away. You knew the answer already.
Uttar has a population density of 829 / Km^2. Hong Kong is 6800 /Km^2. That makes Hong Kong 8.5x more dense. And land is owned in Hong Kong, Japan and even the US. When roads are built, the owner is given market rate money for the land.
There is no excuse.
Transportation of some sort is needed. It doesn't matter if it is for bikes, trains, or cars. Land must be used for the good of the people. Absolute ownership, no matter the cost to society is capitalist-brain.
I think your ire is misdirected, but I agree with the ire. The problem is the elevated road there! It serves car-brain, and that space could have been put to good use for the "low income" people as somebody put it, instead of catering to the "high income" people zooming above in cars.
Transportation is necessary. Roads existed long before cars. You didn't even watch the video. The problem was the road couldn't handle a bus turning.
