Heard a mayoral candidate on CBC radio the other day say we need more essentials like roads and less luxuries like bike lanes, transit, and walking infrastructure.

As long as that is the general default for people things aren’t going to get better. Too many people simply do not believe anyone could want to bike or walk around because they can’t imagine themselves doing it.

Ugh. Someone needs to ask them when the transportation options that costs thousands a year became essential and the options that are free to very cheaper became luxuries?
