The netherlands did a lot more than just build roads. They built bike lanes, transit, walkability and made it legal for density to exist in their city, all things that north american cities resist as if it were the plague.
Bike lanes and transit is part of street building. The netherlands respect road hierarchy much more than north American standards do. America is also severely lacking rail infrastructure like intercity trains and cross country trains. Are you about to say that train building is part of road building too?
America cannot exclussively build roads to get out of their congestion nightmare, especially given the current standard for american roads which is basically every lane is built like a highway with the only difference being the speed limit number on the sign.
I live in the Philadelphia area and they’re about to cut public transportation service by 45%. It’s beyond insane what kind of catastrophe this is going to cause. Unfortunately public transportation here is heavily dependent on state funding and the GOP-controlled state legislature is in full fuck-the-blue-cities mode.

Maybe bad example, given we’re talking about americans.
Well the ones that are left will be resistant.
You’re from .world so i can’t assume this is a bit.
Bike lanes are a part of fucking road building. So is transit infrastructure.

It seems very important to you to just talk about the US.
