[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think part of the problem is that post-WWII, t[b]he U.S. decided to invest in highways rather than public transport infrastructure.[/b] That led to the proliferation of suburbia and spread out communities. Retrofitting a car-based society with an extensive public transportation network is no small task. Sure it would be nice to take the train to Rehoboth, provided we could fit everything we needed in a few suitcases (who does that, BTW), but then what? They'd also have to set up a better transport system in all these beach towns, since not everyone stays somewhere walkable to the beach, grocery store, etc.[/quote] This is the first time I have ever heard someone say that highways are are not public infrastructure. And that is after hearing a long public debate about what is and is not infrastructure, everyone agreed that it definitely included highways.[/quote] You left out an important word.[/quote]
