    Yeah, I would love to have fewer cars on the streets too.

    Unfortunately it looks like most Americans are going to be priced out of private car ownership long before we have any sort of suitable alternatives.

    That’s not something I’m looking forward to. When enough people can’t afford to get to work but have no other way to get there.

    Can’t be investing in new mass transit or walkable cities when the highways are in a state of disrepair. Nobody even takes mass transit anyway.

    I would. Believe me I hate the 1.5 hour drive into the office and 2.5 hour drive back. Except they changed the train schedule on me so there are no routes that work with my schedule, and once I add in the slowdowns and congestion on the subway, it’s almost faster (and certainly more convenient) to drive. And then everyone else has the same idea and then the highways are even more congested. And then there’s less funding for mass transit because nobody wants to use it.

    So glad I get to work from home 99% of the time. I’m not going back to that drudgery.
