    Sure our cities could be much better but you do realize there are communities in America that can’t even provide reliable safe drinking water let alone an entire new infrastructure for their small, low income population? Or already overburdened underfunded system so nothing is working efficiently and just adding more to the docket?

    Probably gonna get shit for this but I find the fuck cars people to be as narrow sighted and obnoxious as vegans. I love your vision, I really do. But damn I have a hard time not being exasperated every time I read a post.

      Approximately half of the entire US population lives in large urban areas. 115,000,000 people. Large urban areas can benefit from higher density housing, as well as what I previously mentioned, and so much more.

      And the money is there.

      Yet, somehow, every time improvements using transit are suggested, every single fucking time, someone mentions the complexities of rural areas.

      Maybe let’s fucking start somewhere we know it could work, and then branch out.

      But can we fucking START‽

      not subsidizing petroleum would probably bring in a few tax dollars
