America Has Long Favored Cars Over Trains and Buses. Can Biden Change That?
But President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan, unveiled this week, represents one of the most ambitious efforts yet to challenge the centrality of the automobile in American life, by proposing to tilt federal spending far more toward public transportation and coax more people out of their cars. Experts say that transformation is necessary to tackle climate change but could prove extremely difficult in practice.
Uh-oh
Most parts of America are defined and exist because of the automobile. Heck, I live 5 miles from the nearest small town (no work) and over 20 to the next possible source for stores and work. This style of living IS America. The big cities are huge populations but not places you'd want to live these days.
