Are you suggesting this is not what the American people want?I just gave you the example of thousand oaks.
The "car problem" is that people want to live away from their employment. Nobody wants to live next to a factory. Just because you build apartments next door, people don't want to live there.
That's why rent is cheap near industrial zones.
Don't make people do what they don't want. That is tyranny
Hey, on the bright side, they don't need cars there!
Fecal, until you can make transportation more efficient (i.e. faster) than using a car, then you will never convert the masses. And guess what, people like having a yard for the kids to safely play in. I know they don't get the corner dealing and street-ho apprenticeship they would get in Soweto, Port-au-Prince, Moscow, or Baltimore, but that's a sacrifice a lot of families are willing to make.
