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.
Hi vegan here. Okay not really, I’m from the south and we eat the hell out of ground beef pork bbq etc all the time lmao.
Just because a small low income populated city is having financial troubles does not mean that the large and medium sized cities cannot do better with how lackluster they are being. Cincinnati can have some bus and transit improvements despite Appalachia to the east having ghost towns everywhere. Detroit can have a light rail network and commuter buses despite Flint having a water crisis. And Houston should never have cancelled their mass transit plans of MetroNEXT because their new mayor hates the idea of it and picked cabinet members to kill it, even if we are in the midst of an immigration crisis to the south.
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.

not subsidizing petroleum would probably bring in a few tax dollars
