I am okay with a broad tax increase on the middle class and above which would actually generate the revenue necessary to pay for these types of projects sustainably. I suspect the poster you're replying to would be as well.

Yeah, I would absolutely be okay with this if it meant i could legitimately get rid of my vehicle, ride transit reliably, reduce my emissions. It would probably mean a net decrease in my expenses.

The reduction in air pollution and traffic stress/accidents could possibly lead to subtle gains in public health and reduced strain on healthcare systems, as well!

Great, then we are all aligned. I am 100% in favor of building high quality public services as long as everyone is paying.
