Yeah, I’ve definitely been coming at this from a perspective of why they don’t. I absolutely think they should, even with all of the reasons that I’ve stated; though I acknowledge that it’d take a while and a lot of money to make the shift.
Yep, the federal highway subsidy is definitely a big factor here, too (though I don’t think that’s as big a deal as it might seem; numbers that are too big just become part of the marketing in the campaign to replace you. “outhouseperilous voted to spend $450 million on transportation last year!” becomes the soundbite, and your protestations that subsidies covered the entire cost won’t get any traction).
To say nothing of how it’s “woke” to not worship at the feet of the automotive industry.
See im taking about reasons should(n’t)
If we’re talking about why they dont, then fed hwy subsidy should also factor, and roads are functionally free to local budgets.
