Are you suggesting this is not progress? Because this is honestly amazing.

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.

This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress
All my homies like chilling by the water
Yep, thats what this is
Yeah, I dunno why OP put quotes on it.
My guess is OP is being sarcastic because progress to many people means more highways & cars. More construction and development.
I wish we had more of this kind of progress near me (Colorado USA).
I haven't found anyone adding the detail that the photo is a bit deceptive.
The road is still there, it was just moved underground. It surfaces at the bridge in the background.
It's definitely better, but the car traffic is still there, just hidden.
Source: I live a couple minutes from where the photo was taken
This is actual progress. I'd love for places to have more green
Why the ""? Getting cars out of cities to improve quality of life is a major progress.
No quotes needed this is literally progress
Why the quotes? It looks much better.
I highly doubt OP knows what quotes mean here
Why did you put the title in quotes
I like 2019 more.
Yes progress! Using the quotes there make it seem like you disagree that this is progress, which I will choose to believe you didn't mean it like that.
I have seen a few pictures like this from around the world. It's pretty encouraging
I totally puked a litre of concentrated grape juice in that hot park in 1999.
Guess whose German wasn’t nearly as awesome as they thought it was…
