If you were planning an ideological cleansing, wouldn't your first target be something that no one wants to defend? Of course, often, ideological cleanses aren't even planned. They just happen organically as advocates and those i

Still, the point is that the transportation systems in the US have co-evolved with the growth and spread of its population. So I suppose you could technically say it's a "chicken-egg" problem. But only in the sense that the
