Dear Rob Ford: DIAF

[sabotabby]

Rob Ford is mayor starting today, and is already the worst mayor ever.





Transit City would have saved me hours of commuting a week. It would have given my kids better access to jobs and education. It would have made them less socially, culturally, and economically isolated from the downtown core.


The subway will not get built. Rob Ford's transit plan is about as realistic as if he'd just offered to buy everyone a pony.

I wish, oh, I wish, that there was one honest cop left in Toronto who could arrest this wife-beating, drug-addled son-of-a-bitch on one of his drunken joyrides. I wish his driver's license would be permanently suspended, dooming him to a lifetime of taking public transit with us plebes.

Die in all the fires, Mayor Ford.

Fuck.

The most charming thing about all this is that he ran on a platform of supposed fiscal responsibility, and yet he wants to shelve a much more affordable transit plan in favour of a stupidly expensive one, for, as far as I can see, no good reason other than his pathological hatred of anything that could conceivably steal a tiny bit of road space from the almighty car.

what is a lane-mile?

As I understand it, it's the number of miles a road would be if you took all its lanes and stuck them together end-to-end. So a 3-mile 2-lane road has 6 lane miles.

Thanks! That was very clear.
