I have a feeling that the bikes that were using those to-be-removed lanes in Toronto will now be out in the middle of the car lanes. Traffic will be much slower.

The “Cons” don’t win on most lists like this.

They ARE the con.

peearremm.bsky.social•80 days ago

For you and me they don't. But what if you're an utter psychopath who hates people on bikes generally and Torontonians on bikes specifically and the only thing you care about is scoring cheap political points in a culture war?

The problem is, the PCs wouldn’t put most of it in the Cons column, or they would mitigate it away. They would respond to the list thus:

- Mitigate liability with legislation x2
- Yay
- Who cares x2
-Don’t believe you
- Who cares
- Yay
- Who cares x2

His vision of a city is such a miserable one. Endless stimulus construction and grim commuter deadlock

Miserable is so right.

However, concerning the pro side...

As the Cons are outweighed by the Pro, the winner takes them all.

+ Worse and slower emergency responses

(which is, after all we have learned in the meantime, to be taken in account on the con side, as Fire engines use bike lanes to avoid congested car lanes)

Sadly, Ford’s pro/con list looks different. It is based on truthiness and falsehoods.
