Caption: Photo collage of a beach in Alexandria, Egypt, showing a progression in 3 images:

  1. Alexandria “Problem” - empty beach + walking street + 6 lane road with medium traffic + dense mid-rise buildings (likely housing)
  2. Alexandria “Solution” - empty beach (doesn’t seem to matter) + narrower walkway or sidewalk + 10 lane brand new and empty road + tiny sidewalk + the same buildings
  3. Alexandria “Results” - crowded beach + crowded beach walkway + traffic jam on the 10 lane road

    Where are you thinking? I visited London recently and while the underground is cool and efficient, it has quite a depressing atmosphere. I’m wondering how it can be done better

      Try Berlin. It’s barrier free. All those bloody barriers you gotta stick your ticket through suck and lead to big traffic jams. Everyone basically has to pay for the upkeep of those things too. Seems like it would be expensive and I definitely hate the shuffle you get in when it’s busy.

      Berlin also has it’s problems though. Just different ones.
