    This isn’t a great argument. There is so much open undeveloped space in the US that could be used to house people. This interchange isn’t taking space away from anyone.

      This isn’t a great argument. A majority of highway interchanges in city limits have actually displaced people.

          Gee, I wonder why people don’t want to live next to a highway interchange.

      This interchange isn’t taking space away from anyone.

      depends on how myopic is your definition of “anyone” is

      “space” isn’t for humans only. roads are taking monstrous amounts of space

          if you want to provoke, you should try to write something less immature.

            I’m not being edgy, the planet and all consequences belong to us.

            Is there another dominant species around I haven’t met yet?

              I’d say you’re technically correct in saying that we can do everything, whereas the other point is that since other species are also affected by our decisions we shouldn’t

      It’s not just about how much space, but where that space is.
