Tearing out extra lanes that do nothing but encourage more traffic, adding protected cycling lanes or reducing road speed are seen as extreme by those that made the decisions that have created the infrastructure we have. In reality these are compromises.
‘Share the road’ is not a compromise. Sharrows are not a compromise. Jaywalking laws are not a compromise. Victim blaming is not a compromise. Media dehumanising pedestrians is not a compromise.Nobody ever fucking considered anything else but cars, drivers and the car lobby when installing these things.
Now tearing it out city centers to focus on humans and humanity is extreme?
Nothing says abject stupidity like taking an argument to its extremes no matter the cost.

You would absolutely not rip them out of you want bike lanes, buses etc.
You don’t need 4+ lanes for that.
Let me quote: “ripped out completely”. That means completely ripped out. Not only 2 out of 4 lanes.
Yes, you’re right: the conservative media outlet blatantly spinning the quote is being abjectly stupid.
Well, you sure know what you’re talking about, you-need-to-allow-white-pride… 🙃
