    I apologize if you’re being sarcastic, but this is the point. We need cars because we designed our cities around cars.

    If we designed around foot traffic and rail, we wouldn’t need (as many) cars and could do with less expensive car-centric infrastructure. Not just interstate exchanges, but also the massive parking lots and garages that are required, gas stations and car repair/oil change places on every corner, etc.

        How much CO2 are you willing to pump out sustaining America’s current design indefinitely?

        Sometimes the investment is worth the cost.

        youre right. using cars only, until forever, is way less pollution.
