> So are public transit riders. And to a worse degree. What's your point?

that this is wildly incorrect. roads cost more than transit. a lot more. and road users are wildly more subsidized than transit users.

> We should magically spawn mass transit systems overnight

yes

> and force everyone to ride them?

you won't have to when the choice is between sitting hours in traffic vs a fraction of the time on efficient transit and greenways. people are not stupid.

> It just isn't a viable option in ~80% of the US

this is Miami, not middle of nowhere Iowa

> Rome wasn't built in a day

so it's correct of Miami to continue to "invest" in even more roads to nowhere, like yet another new highway bridge across the bay? that will take decades to complete and cost billions, and cause MORE traffic?

like no lol just build the effing transit and greenways and traffic will go down and the government and people alike will save billions instead (and their time, and lives)
