We've all heard about this canal/highway/canal transformation in Utrecht many times, but have you started thinking just how much this sort of policy could do for American cities all over?
Just a few removed highways in cities big and small would be transformational!

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
