I think you've illustrated this perfectly - a lot of frustration I've experienced with my peers is what you've said - we want something, and we turn up to the city council meeting asking for it, and we're beset by a lot of older people shouting that a navigation center at the wharf is bad because homeless are criminal and dirty. Maybe you're right that America as a whole can't. I think the younger liberals though, at least from my experience with them, willing to put forward the needs of society. I think many of them have no choice, because the individualist option just isn't available anymore like it was in the past. Thank you for your words on this.

In California the state has been slowly passing laws here and there to preempt zoning and lawsuits to stop transit and densification. One of the things I've noted is often the opposition is basically insane. From voters in the Santa Cruz mountain blocking construction of a sewer up HWY 9. Needed because everyone's septic systems are polluting the ground water and streams. Blocked after all the planning had been done. The Feds, State, and Country would have paid for most of it. But blocking construct meant all the planning costs had to be paid for by the home owners. Total $1000 each. To suing to block the construction of the California high speed rail. Because they might run a tunnel 3000 feet under someones toy horse ranch in the San Gabriels.
