I have a simple rule of thumb, if a rail-based mass transit system makes sense for a geographic locale, then chances are that locale hasn’t been without one since the 18th century (New York, Chicago, San Francisco, etc.)
Oh, and Horace, that all depends on where you live. Here in Portland the money spent on roads is mostly to restripe for bike lanes, and add various “traffic calming” systems like chicanes, speed bumps and traffic circles (not the big roundabouts but a 12 foot round planter in the middle of an intersection).
It’s not a secret conspiracy, our local government has said they want to do everything they can to push people out of cars. What part of the Constitution mandates social engineering again?
