I'd like to call your optimism inspiring but from where I sit it looks more like delusion. Don't get me wrong I would love a huge public transit buildout in the US, I just don't see any realistic path to making it a reality in the current political and economic climate. I also don't see that changing within a decade or more at minimum.
No argument from me. I'm probably insane. But I'm not under oath, or doing a job, or undertaking a responsibility; I'm just me, talking to strangers in a public chat room. Why should I limit myself to the practical? Is there a rule against expressing dreams in this room?
And I agree, even if I convinced everyone overnight, and we had the willpower to do it, I'm still proposing infrastructure changes that I may not see finished in my life, but building for the next generation is still noble to me, in my insanity.
