Public transit is non existent in too many areas or is slow/sucks. 25 min driving or 1 hour on transit (plus waiting for the train, bus, etc on their schedule), I’m taking the former.

I understand. We’re essentially forced to drive to get anywhere. When I lived abroad for a while it put my mind into perspective how inferior our infrastructure is

Yes, that is a symptom of being reliant on cars, which the OC advocated against

Self fulfilling prophecy when politicians (and people) dont give a shit about public transit.

I mean, even if you have enough to care now, it’s kind of hard to reverse a century or more of development for much of the state. The opportunity to have a NY style transit system has come and gone already.
