The largest grant is going to Portland for a freeway widening that has occasionally included a cap in the renders.
Austin's grant is going to a similar project.
The freeway widenings apparently must continue, but now they'll just come with caps in progressive cities.
I saw the headline and thought, "we ripping out the highways or doubling down on them with expensive bandaid 'fixes'?"
Doubling down it is. Crap like this is why Biden will never be a "climate president": we can't address the systemic issues that are the primary drivers of climate change as long as we keep trying to work within the confines of said systems.
Biden is a far right president he just isn't Trump. The only reason we must vote for him. This makes our two teir government bullshit. Because we will never get the changes needed under this current system.
It will always be voting for the lesser evil who is always moving futher right.
