Blumder

A public works project promoted as progressive, but actually designed to intentionally discourage auto travel, resulting in significantly reduced safety for bicyclists and pedestrians due to increased traffic congestion, and degraded local living conditions.
From Blum + Blunder.
Named after Marty Blum, Mayor of Santa Barbara, who allowed unqualified planners to construct failed projects without approval of the Architectural Board.
The hazardaround pushed through by the sociologineer was another Blumder, causing more congestion and accidents. I'm going another way; I don't want to ride my bike through that chaotic Blumder.

sociologineer

A non-engineer who is installed as a traffic planner or other utopian public works government position, who is not qualified to make sound technical nor financial decisions, and/or makes decisions by political agenda instead of facts.
The mayor hired a sociologineer as head of the traffic department- she has only a "Social Ecology" degree and tells the engineers what to design. The sociologineer designed the housing project, and now it's abandoned.

utopianist

A moderately-skilled piano player that believes that all people will be happy if the government forces everyone to have a basic piano and play the piano in his mainstream style, instead of market forces deciding who and what is successful. This results in mediocre music and some exceptionally skilled drummers becoming corrupted and being placed in re-education prisons.
That utopianist teacher would not let me experiment with my jazz style of playing, and the music police came for me.
