> a few miles of subway in the LA metro area, for example, costs on the order of double digit billions and takes a decade plus Then don't build trains - busses work fine. > In huge areas of the country where it's snowy in the winter, e-bikes are a non-starter I live in Denver - it's fine. I don't hear feasibility concerns in your arguments - I hear convenience concerns. How I interpret this is that you, and many other people in the world, prioritize convenience above all else. I understand why, but we must come to the realization that we're taking the side of convenience over everything else: decrease in safety, increased electrical consumption, increased congestion, increased pollution, increased noise, etc.
