        stockholm does legitimately have a reputation for trying to be an american state, they have long been mocked for aping the worst parts of america.

          Gotta love the 6 lane highway bulldozed through the middle of a medieval city, and the TWO ring roads. And the conservatives have cancelled the last two rail projects for Stockholm.

            the central highway is truly a baffling piece of infrastructure.

            So we have this stretch of railway through stockholm that is one of the most heavily trafficked parts of the swedish rail network, it’s a massive ugly bottleneck with a measly two tracks.
            Let’s build a highway right next to it that is TWICE AS WIDE, that sounds like just what the city and nation as a whole needs!

            How anyone can look at this and not instantly conclude that the highway bridge should be converted to railway is beyond me.

        Yeah, it recently opened like a year or two ago in Täby. I’ve never been to dollar store, but Ica is basically just a normal supermarket, so I can see how Costco distinguishes itself in that market.

        Täby isn’t really a nice place to visit if you don’t have a car, though. The bike paths are shit, and I’ve had dickheads in American trucks rev their engines at me when I bike through there. I’d be better of going to Martin och Servera than Costco if I wanted to buy in bulk.

      There’s one being built along with (nestled in) 200 units of housing and less than a mile from 4 new buildings of community college housing, connected via foot path and bike trail, in my community, I’m so damn excited.
