Slop.

The gist of the article is, the boom in vehicle ownership in North Korea is outpacing the infrastructure and systems to management it, e.g. traffic jams and parking spot scarcity

The same thing happened in the US lol. Well that and private interests preventing public transportation to take a load off the car infrastructure. It's why there are certain neighborhoods in LA where one must absolutely rely on owning a car while simultaneously not having nearly enough parking or wide enough roads to actually have them. And of course there's plenty of other capitalist countries where the traffic is legendary in a similar way (India, Philippines, Egypt, etc).

Of course the difference is the state in North Korea can fix it if it's ever truly a huge problem, while the fact that private interests trump state interests in the US and these other countries make it obscenely expensive to solve.
