LINQ: Businessman speaks out against one-way streets (TheSpec.com)
... “That, in a nutshell, is what we’ve created: a place to get through as quickly as possible. That’s the legacy of one-way streets and they have worked well to achieve it.”

New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Such craziness. You actually start thinking subversive thoughts, like what if you designed it to encourage good outcomes?
