2. We should also return to suburban planning and other stupid shit.

I'm kidding of course but see a lot of this talk:

"Transit doesn't pay for itself and now it should just die because nobody wants to be on a bus with dirty people"

Literally.

Locally, I'm a strong voice for public transit, it should be free and cars should be discouraged.

Transit oriented development, denser more walkable communities are the better way.

Naturally, transit opponents have a new talking point.

Having lived in NYC lower east side for 8+ years, I know better. Cars suck there, people will use the subways.
