90% of the US has none of that. Nothing walkable. No trains. No buses. No sidewalks. I've lived in places with transportation pretty decent, but the only option where I live currently is cars. We are generations away from what you're describing. Making cars more expensive isn't accelerating the development of alternatives, it's only making people suffer and more and more angry.
Yes, I know that. I'm identifying that as a problem, but I never said a solution would be quick or easy. I'm fairly certain I even said that US infrastructure is built in a way that would make it more difficult, as compared to societies that are built upon rail-based systems.
When did I ever say anything about making cars more expensive? What is it with Lemmy comments and making strawman arguments?
