Oh, you’re basing your opinions on fact-twisting headlines of right-wing “newspapers”, instead of, you know, reading the actual article where even they have to paint the picture just a liiittle bit differently.
You do understand the difference between “removing roads completely” and “removing all roads”, right?
Yeah, I can help you with that: “removing roads completely” does not specify how many roads are to be removed, only that the ones being removed are removed completely, as opposed to partially.
“Removing all roads” on the other hand means removing all roads, as opposed to, e.g., some, or many.
A government adviser has called for roads in cities to be “ripped out completely” to combat air pollution.

“We should start changing our cities and actually start thinking about ripping out road infrastructure and turning them into green spaces or green transport corridors."
This guy is talking about taking all the roads out of cities. That’s what this article is about.
So, after I explained to you, several times, that nobody wants to rip out all roads, you continue to drone on about that. Yeah, I can see why you fall for right-wing nonsense.
Well, good luck, and have fun barking up all the fantasy trees in your mind! 👋
PS: you totally should visit Seoul or/and Utrecht sometime. You know, might broaden your horizon a bit.

What do you think the distinction is, in this context?

There, that was easy, wasn’t it?

Yes, I continue to “drone on” about the content of the article which this comment section is about.
Are you lost? Did you read the article?

Sorry, are you talking about a different article? Or different people?
Maybe you could quote something from the article which supports your point… you know, like I did.
Can you point me to the quantifiers in your quotes or the article?
Maybe you should do something about your terrible reading comprehension: https://elt.oup.com/student/solutions/preint/grammar/grammar_03_012e
One of the roads near my house was removed completely.
All roads near my house were removed completely.
Two different implications, no?
Yes, the title implies something more extreme than is actually proposed, but that’s why I read articles (usually) before commenting.
