with it's room and love affair with individual vehicles, he's right about mass transit at the moment.

There will come a time when mass transit is desireable, in fact probably the only way to get some places. And then it will be prohibitively expensive to build.

If one is both narrow-minded and selfish to the point of disregarding their childrens and grandchildrens welfare, they will naturally oppose mass transit. As they will oppose anything which would reduce CO2 emissions, for instance. Inconvenient, and don't want to pay for it.

In the long run, I don't think there is a much better investment. Maybe health care.

And in the larger city which I live near, I can get anywhere rather easily with a bicycle and bus.
