Huh? I’m too busy to find the study supporting the point I was making. I think you may have misunderstood? Anyways, maybe if we solve all these issues, things will improve, and I hope it does! Still, I’m with those survey respondents - I really do not care how hard cities work to overcome public transit issues. I’ll never take it. I just have no incentive to do so, and I like my car. It’s private. It’s fast as hell. It’s pretty. It’s comfy. I wouldn’t get even one of those in a bus. I’d be pretty shocked if this wasn’t a standard response. As an aside: it’s weird and disconcerting that you’re finding a different opinion to be depressing. Is it possible you’re just really disconnected?

There's a reason why US has higher rates of depression and mental health issues than other high income countries. Your thought process demonstrates why.

  I think it’s probably because so many people invent fake solutions in their head that they think will solve a problem, and just get upset when it turns out to not work in their society.

    More roads and cars are fake solutions in itself.

      This is a completely illogical take. It reminds me of people who think induced demand means “no matter how many roads we build it can only get worse” lol.

        Are you vested in oil & gas, EV, or automated vehicle industry? Because otherwise it should be perfectly sensible.
