This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

San Francisco turned a beach road into a park. Drivers are not happy. On November 3rd, voters will decide whether or not the road should be reopened to cars (cdn.imgchest.com)

Outside of the US this wouldn't even be a question.

You don't need literally every single thing to be a road. Why do Americans have such an issue with destinations? Every time somebody makes something cool there's always someone complaining that it could be an 18 lane highway instead. If you turn everything into roads there won't be anywhere to go anymore.
