The last mile problem applies to the prospect of expanding mass transit ridership and thus increasing the reach of mass transit lines. If more people are willing to use it, it can be expanded and more people will be able to go more places using it.

I suspect you are one of the people who wants to limit the reach of mass transit because you see it as posing a threat of bringing urban density into areas that don't want such density. If so, you should consider other possibilities for preventing density in those places besides averting accessibility by mass transit.

Car ownership is not a realistic option for everyone. Too many people have been overreaching their economic means for too long by driving because of the inadequacy they perceive in LCF lifestyles available to them.
