You are going to get cities that allow oligarchs to extract as much money as possible from you. That's what you are going to get.

you see, if the City does that then it's the city's responsibility to maintain, both the infrastructure for transportation and the transportation itself. With cars, they only do infrastructure

car infrastructure is more expensive than public transportation

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 1 points 10 months ago

Sure, but you need some of that car infrastructure for trash collection, deliveries and such. In small towns that double duties for everything at no extra cost. Until you have a good network investments in public transit are bad as so few will ride that it isn't worth having at all - then suddenly you have a good network and people start riding.

I want people to understand that everybody's needs aren't the same as their own (and not just say they do before screaming something that proves they don't).

I don't know if that means you're pro or anti public transit.

Some people act like "I don't want to be around other people" is a "need".

I don't think a society should especially cater to the most anti social members, especially if that hurts most people.
