Mr. Biden, Tear Down This Highway
- melling 4y ago“This project underlines a problem facing cities across America: If urban highways enforce racial barriers between neighborhoods, why do officials keep spending so much to expand them?” We keep expanding highways because we have more people and cars. It happens everywhere. Try getting everyone to agree where to move a highway is likely to be impossible. The solution: Mass transportation, which has mostly been neglected in the United States. Let’s make it possible to need a car a lot less often.

Americans love their cars. It's not just a necessity for moving around, but something a lot of people care about personally. Of course, there are pros and cons to that, but there's no reason to assume by default that it's objectively bad.
