    Interesting. As the shift towards EVs continues, I wonder if more cities will adopt underground road networks. It could free up more space on the surface for people to enjoy.

        Also it’s strange to me that if sinkholes are a problem, how are man-made tunnels under the ground not a problem? No risk of caving in and crushing everything and everyone in there?

          Not to mention how much more difficult it is to get emergency services to the scene of a crash.

            yeah, also couldn’t easily helicopter medevac people from a car accident if they’re underground.

      I used to be annoyed at bike lanes, until they all started getting connected to each other. Biking is now really fun and a hell of a lot easier than finding parking downtown. Cars still have their place, but ebikes have significantly made a big city much smaller and easier to navigate.
