And the National Highways Act helped doomed public transportation. Today we get to sit in congestion because Highways aren't properly maintained. Subsidized Highways and broke cities and suburbs. That's why we're the only society in the world that is built around cars. Cities were designed around people. The suburbs are designed around the car. Suburbs don't have the population density to support public transportation. So hence it's a choice to live in congestion.
Are other choices available to those who don’t want to drive? Are people not permitted to use those choices? Are cars mandated by the government? If people are free to vote with their wallet, even if who framed Rodger Rabbit movie were true people that wanted to could have changed how the travel.
Is there ever a reason people shouldn’t be free to live outside of the city core or in the suburbs? The answer in a Democratic Republic is no. We are stuck in traffic because how we have chosen to live.
If GM destroyed mass transit and promoted cars who has changed China? How many cars did they buy last year? Even countries with good mass transit have too much traffic? Maybe because there are too many people?
