People are just so obsessed with cars

It's hardly an obsession among the vox populi. Highway construction is dogma produced by the Church of the Petrochemical Company. We continue to cling to low density, high cost cement roadways because that's why billionaires and their lobbyists tell elected officials to pay for.

Where rail exists, people flock to it. But you have to build before people can come.
