Seattle is full of this. Tons of people around Seattle vote against transit because it won't serve them directly. "The train doesn't visit my house, so why should we build it", or so the thinking goes. It's more than a little myopic, considering many of them commute via car into the city, and getting people onto the train would reduce their commute. But hey, the individualistic "I'm not going to use it, so why should I pay for it" is an accepted attitude in the states.
