&rt;the so called “known solution” is nothing but copy-pasting Netherlands transportation model

First of all, when tf did the guy say we should make a hard copy of the Netherlands, he just simply said that we can see it as an example for potential conversion of current NA stroads, I even included a link to a real example that has happened in the US, but it seems like your biased and impulsive brain just couldn't bother to think. I love how you listed two sets of numbers and didn’t even try to make an argument with them, not that they would make good arguments anyway. Imagine calling someone lacking in logic while making such a low-level mistake, must have skipped composition in high school didn't you.

​

&rt;like that Dutch population density is about 508/km2, where in Canada that number goes down to 4/km2, (36 in US)

I was laughing so hard when you brought up the population density of Canada, does your naive brain think Canadians and Americans lives perfectly proportionally apart? The national population density literally doesn’t mean sheit, the population density of Waterloo, Ontario is 1400/km2, more crowded than most mid-sized Dutch cities, yet there is space for the "massive" stroads? In case you don’t understand me, let me show you another comparison, Vancouver has a population density 5492/km2, and Amsterdam's is 4900/km2, yet Vancouver with its "lack of space" still mirrors the stroad solution in NA instead of something akin to the Netherlands? Besides, there is no significant difference in the space required for both NA and Dutch road systems, so what are you on about? Hence, road planning has very little to do with population density and has everything to do with regulations that encourage a certain type of design.

​

&rt;Average Canadian household has 1.5 cars, and for the Dutch it’s 1.1 per household

As for cars owned per household, what is your argument with it? you just listed it as if it will prove something on its own. Even funnier, this stat may actually be used in my case's favour. Would the reason for Canada to have more cars per household be the proliferation of this car-centered road-building philosophy that I'm against? Families and individuals are forced to buy and maintain a car, thus inflating this number. But to be fair, the car ownership stat is very intricate and is mostly a reflection of social behavior rather than the causation of them, I genuinely don't know why you would think this stat can substantiate anything you are saying, plus you didn't really make an argument with it in the first place.

​

&rt;His attempt to mixing up terminologies and redefine the meaning of road and street are nothing but common leftist tactics

And please, share your wisdom with me as to where the guy mixed up terminologies and "redefined the meaning of road and street", I hope you didn't mean "stroad" because it is pretty clearly defined as "a highway style road with driveways and side streets where the traffic moves in and out", which you and I likely drive on every day. I have a strong suspicion that you confused a "stroad" and a highway since you mentioned speed limits, it's forgivable since they usually start and end with the other. I'll give you more examples so your tinny little biased brain can understand, Columbia Street W, Waterloo, Ontario is a "stroad", the speed limit is 50 kph yet it has four highway-wide lanes and driveways into roadside areas; another "stroad", Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA, has 5 lanes and many businesses street side, it also goes straight through downtown, the speed limit is 35 mph. A highway, such as state highway 99 near Echo Lake, where it is called Aurora Avenue has proper on-ramp and off-ramp, and the speed limit is 65 mph, yet it still suffers the same problem as stroads when it goes through the city of Shoreline and Lynnwood, and is more dangerous for pedestrians and bikers because of the higher speed limit.

&rt;Who the fuck are you to tell us that we don’t deserve the lifestyle that we want and choose
&rt;
&rt;Cars enabled people to commute for a longer distance on daily basis, so that they can have a better job or live in a bigger house

You seem not to understand that most drivers, bikers, and pedestrians are all people that live where the stroad is, remember, stroads have businesses and infrastructure alongside them, they shouldn’t be used to commute to another area like the highways or freeways. if the environment for bikers and pedestrians is improved, it will reduce the traffic flow, making the travel time by all means faster, you can look up the Downs-Thomson Paradox, this phenomenon is observed everywhere in the world, and is highlighted in many peer-reviewed academic articles. I’m glad you do concur that the car-centered culture of America and Canada exists, and I argue that it is unhealthy, some modifications are due for sections of "stroads" and highways that go through towns, like what they did to Washington Ave, Philadelphia. They have made a brilliant case against yours, why should your daily commute negatively impact the communities surrounding the stroad/highway you drive to work? (If your answer is along the line of "they should move", it will prove that you still have that little pinky brain in your head)

&rt;“The suburb and obsession over stand alone houses are mistakes”, mind to elaborate a little bit more?

I kinda provided information for this question already, I know I didn't specify at the time, that is my bad. Have a look, but I doubt you have the intellectual openness to watch it:

&rt;Many accusations made in that video are simply baseless

He made 7 argument against strodes: stroads are bad streets, stroads are hostile, stroads are ugly, stroads are bad roads, stroads are inefficient, stroads are unsafe, stroads are expensive. Each of them have clear reasoning, you may not agree with them, but would you mind explaining how they are baseless?

​

&rt;what a joke for someone like you who most likely don’t even know how to drive
&rt;
&rt;Your opportunities are not restricted by cars or the road system, but by the fact you don’t own a car

Even more ridiculously, you tried to discredit me by accusing me of not knowing how to drive, which is based on an assumption (I seriously don't get why you did this, stupid move), that really shows your incompetence in debating with facts and logic, which most conservatives cherish. The truth is, I have a Washington State driver's license, and excluding Washington Ave, Philadelphia, I have driven on all these roads I mentioned and their surrounding area on a daily basis. When I moved to Ontario, there was a period when I could only walk or take the buses, it was truly miserable, the determination of which bank, post office, or grocery store I used was solely based on whether they are reachable by bus. Imagine if someone is trying to find a starter job, but their option is confined to an arbitrary radius limited by the public transit system, THAT IS a significant blockage to their upward mobility. In Canada, families and individuals in this income tier usually does not allow the individual to support both their mortgage/rent/debt and a car, this issue is repeated by conservative PM Pierre Poilievre many times in the last two years.
