      Traffic engineers and urban planners in the US and Canada know all about European design, and they agree.

      It’s the voters that are the problem.

          The “rich city” in my area constantly vote against improving public transit. They don’t want “the poors” to be able to get there easily. Never mind that they have a shopping mall that obviously pays minimum wage jobs…

        Even worse, when the voters ask for something to benefit them, the elected don’t listen. Look at the multiple articles in the last few months about governors and such (each in the South, at least the ones that I saw), overturning legislation voted for by their constituents.

      Nah, how about we just keep buying bigger vehicles? As long as my car is bigger than the other guy’s, I’m safe!
