What else do 90% of people agree upon? We should put 90% of transit funds to car things but we don’t. That 10% is basically over served when you look at it this way.

But yeah policy should be built around what 90% of people think. In this case it’s that people want cars. And it makes sense because they make life so much better.

I have a car but that doesn’t mean I want things built around cars. I have a car because I need it not because I want it. Having to have a car makes my life actively worse.

You’re making a significant leap by assuming that car ownership implies car support.
