why not both? public transportation also need to be paired with good local connectivity (I have seen this first hand in sf bay-area). but then if local nimby's dont let local housing built and economic centers dont shift then all this means is people dont have a choice but to commute long distances (I have). I'll tell you the public transportation is definitely doable but it needs a lot more frequency and much better connectivity. definitely not the half assed way SV does it. Also time people spent doing same traveling between driving vs Public transportation needs to be comparable as in maybe 50% more not 2x or 3x (though that would be covered by my higher frequency & better connectivity comment but it needs to be a design consideration).
