Re:Better Transit Could Solve Big Cities' Housing Problems on Thursday July 31, 2025 @03:15PM (#44749073)

I think it is very reasonable to be up in arms about transit funding in the US until we get our costs under control. If we had Asian levels of cost-per-mile we would be rioting if we didn't have our current levels of spending.

Re:Better Transit Could Solve Big Cities' Housing Problems on Thursday July 31, 2025 @03:14PM (#44749067)

Disagree. Parking structures are complements for transit and current levels are not adequate. I believe in getting places fast; I'm not a zealot for or against any particular modality.
