    shit like this makes me so patriotic, all swedes have a god-given right to 5km of technically functional and “safe” (not actively lethal) pedestrian infrastructure to reach the retail area on the other side of the motorway!
    We should change our flag to a 20cm wide sidewalk that was obviously put in 30 years ago and never maintained.

    Real talk though: this is why anything even vaguely rural is bleeding population like an open wound, the “big cities” are so hilariously much better in every single way.

      I think the funniest part is that this road is a main stretch of road that they continuously keep ripping up and replacing. Sure now they are doing some major restructuring, there is a pretty large project here related to Ostlänken, so I think that’s the incentive.

      However, in the four years I’ve lived here, the stretch of this road that passes by the area my flat is has been ripped up and replanted like at least half a dozen times. The same stretch of road, making no changes to it. I’ve genuinely no idea why they keep doing it. It’s like someone at stadshuset has a kink for roadwork.

        I think that kink is required to become a public official, same thing in my town.
        They particularly love to remove random sections of asphalt, wait a couple weeks before they spray the warning paint so you see the massive fucking cliff that’ll kill anyone in a wheelchair, then it spends months or years completely untouched until it’s suddenly repaved again.

        I’m convinced it’s casual corruption to funnel money into construction companies.
