Self-driving tech means trucks will drive normal routes 24 hours / day
Nope. Our city is in the middle of promoting high density urban villages. With condos and apartments on the upper floors and businesses on the street. You start making deliveries at 2AM and residents will burn your trucks to the ground.
One of the few roads from 1924 is still present totally unchanged.
Just guessing here. But that 1924 road has residents and businesses around it since.... 1924. All who have a vested interest in not having their neighborhood dug up to accommodate more outside traffic. Not that this is a good thing. Back in 1924, the gas station (for example) wanted to be on the street corner. For more traffic. But smarter developers (and gas station customers) have since realized that corner lots are absolute shit when it comes to access. The only people who aren't smart are the people hanging onto that 1924 lot.
That's why in many communities the comment from a local pastor is relevant;
Sadly, this is true. And assigning veracity to such people beyond their area of expertise (the invisible sky being) is what ruins so many people's lives. I'll leave chemistry to the chemists, legal issues surrounding the manufacture of destructive devices to law enforcement and the courts, medicine to the doctors, etc.
I hope not. It was a pedestrian bridge. And as such, the 'massive load' it was designed to bear was it's own weight. Pedestrians would have been insignificant load compared to the bridge's own 950 ton weight.
And are there plenty of unoccupied apartments and houses sitting around?
Not plenty. But the occupancy rate has dropped to about 95%. Landlords aren't desperate, so they can hold out for that anticipated surge of people making $15/hr.
Seattle. When the $15/hr wage law was passed, landlords started raising their rents. Never mind that pay would take a couple of years to reach the specified level. people caught in that pinch are now living under bridges.
Nazis don't exist in America as an organization. Trump supporters don't exist in America as an organization (half of the GOP merely put up with him). Etc, etc.
Antifa may very well consist of a bunch of independent cells, each unknown to the others. And their command and control might lie outside of America. So yeah, your assertion is accurate on the face of it.
They cherry-picked some details to reinforce their point. Yeah, Reddit is a toxic place. And kudos for Huffman getting sick of it and doing something about the outlying groups. But what about Antifa's hang-outs? I doubt you'd get a major news outlet to do much serious investigation about the left fringe. And given the cohesiveness of their group-think, finding an insider who had stepped back from the nutjobs thinking "Whoa! This is too much." is much less likely.

the misbegotten idea that people can actually zipper merge.
Maybe you can't get your Prius up to highway speed on a short metered on-ramp. But in my Porsche, it's just more fun.
Traffic planners have just inadvertently boosted the market demand for Dodge Challenger SRTs.

Yes. But not so many at once. My field of view isn't that wide.
I remember when the Scientific American used to publish articles about science.

Stop telling people what to do with their networks.
No problem. Now get your network off of our public right-of-way.

water shipped in a container may contain microscopic particles of that container
My water comes from a stream fed by a watershed on the side of a mountain. A mountain made of minerals. And my water is full of minerals*.
Oh the horror!
*Probably some traces of bear poop in there too.
They could have been Jewish.
Local church runs e-mail service for it's parishioners. I'd like to see how this will go down.
Really, this is such a dumb idea I don't know where to begin.
Thank Elon Musk. It's his idea.

but that quickly ends when costs catch up.

"Antifa" really doesn't exist in America.
MODS! They're posting fake news again!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)
"The Antifa movement is a conglomeration of autonomous, self-styled anti-fascist groups in the United States."
Yeah. That whole 'soak in a chemical solution' just sounded like marination to me.

Actually, one can trust them. We know who they are and what their agenda is. So their biases are quite predictable.
You can always lock it in the phone booth.
