    Key point. This is a problem decades in the making and won’t be fixed overnight. The transition will be uncomfortable.

    Uncomfortable is an understatement, a century of car culture doesnt undo itself overnight.

    If we’re lucky it’ll only take 2 generations for people’s habits and preferences to change, but that requires investing in infrastructure that may not get fully utilized for decades.

    The solutions are there, but the people need to be swayed.

      Bullshit. Watch car culture die the moment gasoline reaches 10 dollars per gallon. The US will start to treat distances the same way Europe does currently.
