    Relatively…

    If you make it more expensive, you're putting a price on democracy. Should neighbours not have a right to object to projects that may destroy their neighbourhood? Should only the rich have that right?

    I always imagined Metro-West could have alleviated the parking crisis somewhat on the M50.

    What about decriminalising drugs? That would improve the country about a zillion per cent. https://www.drugfoundation.org.nz/matters-of-substance/may-2013/drugs-are-legal-portugal/

    This thread is about Infrastructure and what you are discussing is criminal justice and social policy. Very different matters to Infrastructure.

    I completely agree with you here. But, alas, it would be too sensible for the relevant organizations to fathom :(.

    In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there were organizations with a vested interest in the chaos on the M50, holding it back.
