yeah, i've become more and more leery of the "induced demand" argument (whether it's true or not!) first, I just think it's far more persuasive to have a concrete vision/story of what _positive_ future I want, instead of some quantitative argument _against_ roadshttps://twitter.com/JakeAnbinder/status/1183833551449407488 …
When I lived in a driving city, traffic didn't impact me since I had a job where I could work any hours I wanted, but for a normal person with a 9-5, increasing throughput at peak times (as they did in Austin by adding a lane to the highway) is a huge quality of life improvement.

I think this is easy to miss if you're very privileged or wealthy and can afford to have a lifestyle where this doesn't affect you (by living closer to work or having flexibility), which is literally everyone I've seen making the induced demand anti-road argument.
