This post was very confusing to me.

I guess it would help if I was intimate with Seattle current politics.
There are too many words that are used from a point of view that everyone knows the context. Without the context, it really sounds like gibberish.

Also, restriping roads is an ongoing process. Especially in places that use snow plows often. Since much of the infrastructure is decaying all over The USSA, I believe complaining about the striping to be one of the last things on the maintenance list.

Further, the future of transport is not going to be self driving cars or flying cars. These are ideas to fix an industry that is already dying. The future is not driving to work on overly crowded highways.
