It is an interesting article.  When I visited Istanbul in 2000, traffic congestion was already so bad that the taxis had been forced to run on bottled gas.

Just build the third bridge and keep Matty Moron away from it.

Assholes like Andrew Finkel are why nothing gets built in America anymore. We can't build that bridge there! It destroys the habitat of this endangered weed!

You know what else damages the environment? Traffic congestion.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Ah, Istanbul's population grew by millions (and traffic accordingly) just because they built the bridges, no other reason of course.

What a load of nonsense in that article.

Imagine Los Angeles with only two freeways. That's what Istanbul has.
