Carpool lanes

These cost Cal $2.5B+, a 20% capacity loss, increased pollution, decreased carpooling, and increased injuries (50%+).

These monstrosities cost California $2.5B+, a 20% capacity loss, increased pollution, decreased carpooling, and increased injuries 50%+ (frequency and severity). It turns out a high speed lane right next to a parking lot increases accidents and injury on entry/exit, and not allowing drivers to use the entire road only decreases traffic flow from optimum.

Carpool lanes are great, they reduce pollution, reward environmentalism, and make the world a better place	They wasted billions, reduced road capacity (increase pollution), decrease carpooling, increase injuries.

Supporting them is anti-environment, anti-economics and anti-science.

When this was proven before they deployed them, California deployed them anyways. When it was shown in data what they were doing, California scaled them up anyway. When you show a progressive these truths, they usually doubt you until the data proves them wrong, then they call you names and go away.

Terms
We need to agree on what terms mean. This used to be easy, before SJW's/Marxists started Orwelling our language.

The Left Lies
When the truth disagrees with your agenda, you can grow (change) or lie. The left usually chooses the latter.

Alt-Science
This is a list of "alternate science": things that some claim is science, but isn't.

Unintended Consequences
Every action causes a reaction. Many reactions/consequences are counter productive and make the problem worse.

Mass Transit
If an idea has to be subsidized, it's probably not a good (economically viable) idea that will offer mass benefit.
