There being too many cars is a fact, there being too much money being spent to built infrastructure for cars only to the detriment of alternatives—rail, busses, bikes—is also a fact. Blaming cars is not blaming the 'other', it is pointing at the culprit.
- Shaanie 2y agoI believe you may be conflating opinion with fact, unless you add some qualifier like "based on potential throughput" or some such.
- DemocracyFTW2 2y agoHow many more decades of forced-to-own-a-car policy do you need? How many more suburban and rural areas in Europe and the US that had at some point decent public transport that they don't have now do you need? How many more kilometers of noisy highways cutting through the landscape and the urban space do you need? How many price hikes in public transport paired with impoverished services do you need? How many tens of thousands more miles of disused railroad tracks do you need before opinion becomes fact?
