WTF? I thought Germany was better than this. Haven't they been to nearly any US city to see just how shitty adding cars makes them? Please don't do this to Berlin!

Rising rates of car ownership doesn't mean you need more roads. That's just a suckers game that begets more roads and more cars while slowly choking the life out of your city.

Take that money and finish the airport, add another UBahn line, and increase SBahn frequency outside the ring. Also keep adding more bike roads. I was astonished at how many more people were biking around Berlin when I visited this year compared to my last visit. Whole roads had been slimmed down and the feeling of having more people oriented neighborhoods was palpable. It was phenomenal and encouraging. Adding a six lane monstrosity at the cost of whole cultural centers would be stabbing Berlin in the guts to appease noisy, stinky, inefficient, climate destroying vehicles.

Don't be like the US, Berlin. You're better than that!
