We should organize society however we the people want. That means a bottom-up rather than top-down approach that will vary greatly depending on local demographics, climate, etc... All of us think we know what is needed, but the reality is different ideas need to be floated and we vote for the solution we want to see for our area.

What kind of non-argument is that? Of course we should organize society however we want. That is why I'm trying to persuade people into agreeing with me on what the right way to organize society is.

My point is that it's a little pointless to argue on global forum like HN because it's such a local issue. You don't need to convince anybody here, it's the people in your local community that are going to make the change.

Public transport infrastructure is definitely a global issue.

Not really. From where I'm sitting in Austin I don't really care if Madrid has good public transportation or not. If the people of that city decide to fund that or something else doesn't affect me nor should they care what I think.
