why the fuck does the service industry work in the day? they should only be operating AFTER work. post office, bank, doctors, malls. all that shit should be AFTER work till late night. whos fucking idea is it to have the service industry operate during the times EVERYONE ELSE (people theyre supposed to SERVE), are still at work?

the problem is deeper than just... traffic.

Ahh you are talking about the system in Asian Liberal countries. (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong as a city, to name a few)

Banks and financial institutes I understand they have to largely overlap with the stock market and exchange market to keep up service with its clients. But then:

Why don't we open stores with hours like 12pm to 11pm instead? (From what I gathered, this is hindered by the delivery schedule of trucks, and other logistics difficulty between chains and suppliers.)
Why don't we fix freeways during 12am to 8am instead? (that's kind of happening already)
Why don't we open the Vancouver Ports during late night so the trucks use the road when everybody else isn't? (With our stupid city design everyone living on Knight St won't be getting any sleep though).

Because that's how it operates over there. Late night trucking, shops that seem to be open always because it's open when you are available. Freeways that turn smooth overight. Ahhh the possibilities are endless if you time share the road properly.
