Good luck with that.

Going by similar things I see where I live, I don’t see how diverging diamond works in practice, even if the theory is good.

The problem is

  • it’s unfamiliar to drivers
  • drivers see a huge expanse of pavement with insufficient indication where to go. I see people all the time accidentally cross lanes
  • since it’s a very shallow angle, it’s all too easy to get confused and accidentally cross over into oncoming traffic
  • cities never keep up with road maintenance. Lane lines are critical here, but once they are worn off it’s just a free for all
  • there’s always more traffic. It’ll quickly back through the intersections and cause gridlock, yet it’s not easy for drivers to tell when they are even in the intersection

    This week, the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) formally approved the transfer of ownership of approximately 243 acres of land in south Bexar County to Brooks Development Authority. 

    The transfer of ownership is considered significant in creating "Project Oso," a joint initiative between Brooks, SARA and Bexar County to "prepare the property for future large-scale development and job creation," according to a news release.

    Love SA, don't worry about the pollitics too much. Pretty much everyone I've ever met has been nice. Just get out and vote when it's time to.

    Can't fix the state if we don't have more voters.

    I live in Dallas and have family in SA. I think it's the best city in Texas- nice community and there's always a party. Also, you'll be not too far from the coast, which is fun. And Hill Country.

    over the narrow pay gaps the policy would create.

    Those occupations should also see an increase in wages alongside it. That's the whole point. It may not be exactly 1:1 as you get further away from the floor, but if your skill is that much more valuable, it would maintain it's value to employers to keep you around
