Criticism accepted, I am not trying to generalize everyone. I am an urban dweller from back in the days when that was the cheap (and less desirable) way to live. So I obviously wish we had much better transit and more affordable housing, and all of the good things. Its not like people want to spend an hour in traffic in a beater-ass car, they do it because they have to. (Because all of the shit you mention is even worse in the suburbs.) I would just like to see some real solutions which don't involve taxing the fuck out of the little guy or nuking the suburbs or the usual Cars Bad handwaving. It's a hard problem which nobody has a real good answer for.
