WampaLord posted:Welcome to anywhere in America outside of the 10 major cities. Sorry to bring this up as I've just been catching up on the thread but I don't think this is actually true, at least from my experience. Large cities, sure. But outside of those top 10 there are plenty of cities that manage to provide decent public transit. Places like DC, Portland and Denver come to mind. Anyways, I don't think public transit is as bad in America as most make it out to be (if you don't live in NY/Chicago good luck!). Many cities have invested in this area over the past few decades especially and yes, it could be better, but there are plenty of places you can live purely on public transit that don't have ten million people living in close quarters. A bigger issue with public transit, and with most government services for the matter, is that they are expected to make a profit. I have no idea why this is the end goal of public transit but we seem hell bent on doing so. Many cities you see rental communities for the upper-middle class that come with a bus pass they'll never use while the poor are relegated to spending thousands on bus fare over the years. It would seem to me things like public transit are a good we should be happy to pay for. We should be incentivizing bus trips, not forcing people to pay for them. It shouldn't be cheaper to hop in your car and drive somewhere than take the bus, but that's the reality facing most people across the country.

WampaLord posted:Those are in the top 10 cities, you loving dingus. They absolutely are not, by what measure are they "the 10 major cities"? Or is this a time where top 10 means top 25?

WampaLord posted:By access to transit. Alright you originally said "top 10 major cities", but if we're talking just access to transit, what's the list you're using? My only point is that more than 10 cities have the ability to take public transit to the airport. It's not that bad in America and has gotten better recently many places.

Amused to Death posted:I mean I live in a city of 135,000 and the immediate neighboring towns have about another 200,000 people in a dense area and the bus system is probably better than most competitive areas but also still kind of sucks? Yeah, it's far from ideal. "Getting to the airport" is like the (one of the?) bare minimum of a public transit system. It does seem like most major metro areas offer something like that, even if it's a Park-and-Ride or whatever. Living without a car requires a hell of a lot more out of a transit system (and I can imagine there's less than 10 major metro areas where it's realistic) but most cities have at least laid the groundwork, they just need to raise taxes, remove the concept of fares and expand their networks. Does anyone know/have any data for trends in public transit over the past few decades? I'm curious as to whether things are getting better, staying the same, or worsening. From my limited observation it does seem like public transit is making somewhat of a "comeback" with millennials but that could just be the bubble I live in.

Imagine unironically posting "but not all millenials are poor! you can't say millenials are poor!" and then spending two pages defending it before having the gall to accuse other people of strawmanning primo stuff

"but it's a crime!" i shriek as I slowly shrink and turn into a corncob you act like ads aren't already locally targeted its not like kroger cant figure out how to write the correct price in their weekly pamphlet and everything online wrt sales tax is a shitshow already and most merchants just flagrantly ignore local/state taxes
