I will happily continue to vote for and fund our over-budget under-delivering mass transit projects, even though I (and the overwhelming majority of people providing said funding) won't be in a position to actually use them for the foreseeable future, because it's the right thing to do.
However, if someone tries to take my car before those alternatives are in place, we're going to have a problem. My problem will be getting to work. The transport authority's problem will be obtaining money from a hostile and/or evaporated tax base.
We build a better world by working together, not by raiding each other and hoping that somehow, in the aftermath, the mass fixes itself.
- munk-a 7y agoI absolutely agree, taking away private transit just isn't a workable solution with how people live and commute right now - and I wasn't advocating for anything of the kind, just pointing out that considering reducing private transit is absolutely off the table right now socially. I use and love public transit and would love to see downtown car free zones that help encourage transit usage and phase out the need to have a car - I wouldn't love to see everyone's car instantly impounded.
