Fuck this, I’d rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure.

personally I would rather turn a hour long commute across state lines into a four hour long walk.

think of how thick my calves would be!

trains, busses, and bikes exist
That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

maybe where you live. closest train station is an hour away from me.

closest bus stop is an hour away from me

riding a bicycle would make my hour long commute two hours.

if I drove to a bus stop and rode a bus the rest of the way to work it would still take me two hours.

it’s always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey. if a solution fails to accommodate for more than half a population it’s not a solution, it’s just ineffective.

it always interesting to people who say ‘with current levels of funding’.

because taxes should be going to give you a closer train stop…..

they should, but that’s not the reality we live in.

the only way things improve is we start demanding better.

lying down won’t do a thing

then demand it of your leaders, don’t demand it of your equals. we’re just as helpless as you are.

what makes you think I haven’t been?

if we don’t band together to demand it, what will actually change?

also please quote where I demanded anything of anyone here.

awful lot of we being thrown around for you to not be implying something…

“we” as in those who demand better.

not we as in those who don’t care.

I never said you have to do something. just that things don’t get better that way…

you used the informal royal “we”. as in “we the people”. you said we start demanding better.

in that comment you are stating that we demand.

if anyone is moving goal posts, it’s you.

all I said there was things don’t change unles leaders are made clear.

if that’s demanding action out of you, sure. but I never once said you, specifically you ( or any individual), do anything.

Only cause you don’t go to your city council meetings.
you know what they say about assumptions…

it’s always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey.

Says the guy unnecessarily inserting USA in the discussion.

We are well aware your transit sucks. No need to tell us again and again.
