Oh no, we're going going to stifle the local economy for billions of dollars, and all we have to do is take on 10s to 100s of billion of dollars of debt to avoid it...

This is just turning into a hedonistic treadmill of turning more and more of your space into transportation infrastructure by means of debt.

It's hardly hedonistic to want to leave your house and investing in transportation infrastructure should pay for itself.

The point is that automobile infrastructure does not pay for itself; it is too energy-inefficient, too upkeep-inefficient, and too space-inefficient. Cars do not scale.
