    Interesting. As the shift towards EVs continues, I wonder if more cities will adopt underground road networks. It could free up more space on the surface for people to enjoy.

      The problem with underground networks is that they are very expensive

        Also it’s strange to me that if sinkholes are a problem, how are man-made tunnels under the ground not a problem? No risk of caving in and crushing everything and everyone in there?

      I used to be annoyed at bike lanes, until they all started getting connected to each other. Biking is now really fun and a hell of a lot easier than finding parking downtown. Cars still have their place, but ebikes have significantly made a big city much smaller and easier to navigate.
