there’s too much red tape and special interest play in trying to expand transit options in the United States.
Examples in California include: car companies killing off successful street cars in SoCal, car dealers and residents block the expansion of BART down the SF Peninsula, residents in northwestern Bay Area blocking BART from entering their area for fear of criminals accessing their area easily from the East Bay.

This one I believe. I live near a BART station and it is where most crime happens. My next place will be far, far away from any public transportation.
