Yeah, like what are we supposed to do when there are few side-walks, work is 30-1hr away at freeway speeds, and public transit is either dirty, unreliable, or unsafe?
Most of us want to do away with our fossil fuel dependancy- but we need better options.
And before anyone says walk or take a bike, that isn’t feasable for everyone
Vote to build better infrastructure and provide better transit service. Even if it sucks. A train that goes 65mph next to a 75mph freeway isn’t a failure. It’s a gateway to better transit. I myself have fallen into the trap of viewing these projects as unworthy or not good enough when they are a step in the right direction.
I will now almost always hold my nose and vote for things that fund trails, busses, trains, bike infrastructure, etc. Then I’ll go and complain online about how they didn’t go far enough :-)

Or non-existant. See: most of the US (please send help, passenger rail doesn’t exist here and I live less than an hour from a city)
