America will do anything BUT build and scale non-car centric transportation.
Highway expansions? Green light.
“Smart” traffic control? Green light.
Removing residential buildings and once vibrant communities in favor of highways? Green light.
Endless subsidies for multi trillion dollar oil and gas companies at federal, state levels? Green light.
Demolishing lush green scapes and replacing biodiverse ecosystems with suburbs and regional highways? Green light.
Further digging ourselves into debt with private “municipal bonds” to cover expensive car centric projects at local levels? Green light.
Walkable cities? Hell no. That’s a wAsTe of tImE. I want BiGGeR roAdS
Bikable cities? Fuck no. GeT a CaR u PoOr.
Expanding bus routes and operation times? No. ThE bUsSeS aRe EmPtY!1 my taxes going to WasTe!!
Regional trains? NO NO NO! muH fIeFdOm i bOuGhT iN 1993 wIlL lOOK ugLY !!!
Local cities will also introduce highly restrictive building and zoning codes which further restrict the ability to scale up.
This country is a joke.
