This isn’t a great argument. There is so much open undeveloped space in the US that could be used to house people. This interchange isn’t taking space away from anyone. There are lots of good reasons to reduce cars, but this isn’t one of them.
My workplace recently started doing a “Path to the Weekend” initiative. This is a mandatory meeting held at 5pm on a Friday for an hour about every month, where we have to have extroverted style discussions such as “tell us about 2 new things you accomplished in your personal life since the last meeting.”.
I think the implication is that rich people don’t have popcorn ceilings, so if you do, you don’t make enough money that his tax plan will hurt you. The premise seems flawed to me, but I could be interpreting it wrong.
We were changing office buildings and were packing our desks for the move. They have us boxes and bags for everything.

I later learned that his son had just been diagnosed as severely autistic. Oops.
