I live in suburban USA, and I don't appreciate those who would flash impose transportations "solutions" solutions on us. City folk love to impose costs on others. Thats why I insist that this is a 100+ year project. Our current infrastructure is built around 80mph cars (I drive 90!) and it will take forever to build sustainable infrastructure. I drive far; my folks and I get together once a month and they live 300 miles away. My in laws live 600 miles away and we see them relatively often, again by car. I hate flying (Im tall and ppl smell), so I drive a lot. In fact I love driving, and I will never not own at least one car. But lets be frank. I live 300 miles from my parents because cars enabled me to do so. Fast transportation has radically lowered the cost of living away from family, lowered the cost of not investing in our communal areas. Besides, I make exceptions for motorcycles: no speed limit for them :)
