What's really dumb is that there's only a six lane highway on the city side of the bridge, so apparently the bridge needs four extra lanes for reasons?

It will ingratiate Christy Clark's government to the hard working middle-class families of Delta, and when they discover the congestion isn't solved, their rage will be directed onto the latte swilling elitists of Vancouver who refuse to accommodate their increased road usage.

The amount of daily transit commuters on the Broadway corridor easily exceeds the 80k daily drivers that cross the Massey Tunnel lol. It's almost as if the BC Liberals ideologically hate transit.

Don't over-build your stupid exurban mega bridge in Ladner, rip up that stupid elevated highway that cuts Toronto off from the waterfront, put good transit in order of where it will be most used, don't run over cyclists or pedestrians. Those are my strong canadian transport related opinions.

I'm just saying that driving buzzed (let's say 0.08, which will still get you an administrative suspension) in a rural area is way easier than in a city. Note I am not arguing that it's any of the following: - legal - safe - a good idea I'm just saying that it's more safe than driving drunk in an urban area. Driving in a rural area is always easier than in the city, that's why rural hicks who aren't used to driving in traffic always drive so lovely when they wander into the big city.

According to the legal system it's more or less okay to kill people while driving drunk if you somehow don't know that driving drunk is illegal and a Bad Idea.

There was a guy in Calgary who was drunk driving a cement mixer, plowed through a family of 5 in a car killing them all, threw his vodka bottle into the cement mixer and spent less than three years in jail. There is no deterrent to drunk driving in Canada.

Topsoil is generally stripped off land slated for development and sold. So any kind of agriculture reclamation is a matter of decades at least. And prime farmland soil is a an entire ecosystem in of itself that can't be conjured into existence as it is in turn supported by surrounding ecosystems that are often damaged or altered when people begin developing the landscape for suburban or light industrial buildings.

James Baud posted:It's not really overbuilding when it's the primary route linking nearly a million people (Vancouver, Richmond) to both the US border, the primary ferry terminal to the island, and oh yeah, also the part of Surrey that's seeing probably 90% of their recent and future population growth of 10k+ people per year. To say nothing of the population boom that would follow any relaxing of the ALR... Granted everybody living on the Fraser's flood plain is a fool, but when has that stopped people before? Let's be realistic here, that bridge links Surrey to Richmond. All those commuters slam into a 4 lane bridge when they get to the Vancouver side. And in 5 years when Chisty Clark announces the new 10 lane bridge from Richmond to Vancouver, there still won't be the road capacity on the Vancouver side of things to deal with it. And since it will have a toll, everyone will take the other bridge anyways.

PT6A posted:Why do you suppose this is? Certainly no major city in Europe was "designed" for anything beyond carriages, much less modern rapid transit, and yet they've built functional transit systems over the years. Older cities have the advantage, generally, of being much more compact than the newer cities in the West as well.

Kly posted:What? No way that cant be true. The idea of a two year old and a six year old sleeping in the same room is stupid and a great way to make sure neither of them ever get a good nights rest but i cant believe its illegal. I shared a room with my sister for three years as a kid, but it was never an issue because a) CFS wasn't involved with us, and b) my parents could've bought a house with an extra bedroom if that was their priority, which it wasn't at that point. But if we had been involved with CFS - which, let's face it, would be much more likely if we'd been living in poverty - they would have been forced to move to a larger home or lose custody.

Well yes when transit is completely eliminated as an option, which the BC Liberals have done, then doubling down on car oriented urban planning becomes the only remaining solution. In this case we're not overbuilding, it's all that's possible. The BC Liberals have engineered it such that this is the only viable growth strategy. You're on the ball bringing up the ALR. This entire thing is a real estate play. There has already been efforts to undermine the Agricultural Land Reserve. Expect more of this to continue and for the BC Liberals to tie it into the housing affordability problem. The Liberals will claim that the ALR is restricting supply and causing prices to rise. The solution will be to free up land in Delta/Tsawwassen for tracts of low density single family housing. Femtosecond fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Dec 22, 2015 |

He got basically 8 years, reduced by 25% for originally offering to plead guilty, and credit for pretrial time. 5 concurrent for manslaughter, plus 6 months for obstruction tacked on consecutive. Ended up at 66 months. You seem to have an issue with the sentencing range for manslaughter generally, but think somehow he got off easy because he was in a vehicle? I'm unable to see your point otherwise.
