    Housing newr public transit is unattainably expensive, and employers have left the cities because “everyone has a car.”

    The last mile problem is conveniently ignored by public transit advocates because there is no proper solution. Build what and where? Proven where? Who will come? I support the concept, and agree with the underlying benefits, but the solutions offered are unrealistic and not persuasive. I am informed on the subject and sympathetic to the cause. If you don’t have an answer, you can’t hide it with a condescending hand-wave.

      Look at Tokyo. They build the extremely expensive subway system long before it was needed and made it run efficiently on time. It’s now the worlds largest city.
