Can't afford EV, or house to charge it, but I'd still support it. Fuck the idiotic gas guzzlers on the roads.
What I'd really like to see is some enforcement of the HOV lanes. I see random wanker driving in there alone waaayyy too often, and shortly after there's like 10 of them. (Talking about a particular section in Pitt Meadows, and no they aren't all trying to take the next exit). Then again, there so many other rules and laws that go in enforced on the road that his is just another thing to throw on top of the pile.
Lovely, I can't afford a place to live in Surrey where I work and the bus would take me 2.5 hours so fuck me I guess. Should just quit my job and go one welfare I suppose.
We could definitely use better transit, as well.
Need to tackle problems in a specific order, transit is the largest one rather than HOV lanes.
I don't understand why we can't have trains ):
Yeah, a core train line down the Fraser valley would be amazing. Something to connect from Hope all the way to Whistler with high speed commuter rail.
That said, I think we can do multiple things at once. :)
You definitely could, especially with infinite resources, but prioritization also saves money.
If you had a core train that ran all the way from hope to Whistler we probably wouldn't be needing to spend all this money expanding the highway or even have HOV lanes so it quite possibly could be one or the other, because once the money is spent on HOV lanes people may say a train is too expensive we have no money left.
