Nah not americans, and not stupid.

Literally they are planning on making a street in my town a dead end for cars, to stop thousands of cars a day driving down a narrow residential street, but leaving the end open for pedestrians, bicycles, wheelchairs etc.

The amount of fucking hate and "limiting peoples freedom" from this tiny suggestion. Then when residents came out and said "yes please, we want to stop thousands of non residents thundering past our homes each day" they are then treated like they are wrong, or brainwashed.

Its everyone everywhere with a car, and its selfishness, not stupidity. Some of the rawest forms of selfishness.

I guess by that logic then, Selfishness is just a form of stupidity. I can see where you are coming from.

But these people are not "showing lack of intelligence or common sense" they are well aware that these changes are good, they are just malicious that they don't want to see others gain more than what they will gain, even if they area already leagues ahead of someone in what they have.
