That's the kicker. We've had a solution for ages. I've spent a good decade trying to poke holes into "why 'acthually' public transportation can't work in the US", and I've come out of it even more confused. The US has all the hallmarks of country that's well suited for public transit. Urban housing shortages, open space, flat land, pockets of density, overdue infrastructure overhaul, you name it. It is really THAT simple. There's so much low hanging to pick off and best-of-all, public transit spending goes back into the pockets of That being said, you can't convince a person to like anything if they're reasoning from a place of comfort. I'm a broken record, but hearing an American praise European cities while simultaneously doing everything in their power to stop their city from ever becoming that, is the sort of hypocrisy that cannot be solved through convincing, logic or education. Lastly, public transit also needs a strong police force, and there is some much needed 'cognitive dissonance' that YIMBYs need to figure out if they're going to convince those holding out. _________ Prevention is better than a cure. Driverless electric cars are here to save the automobile industry at the expense of the environment, climate and public safety.
