transit system decades ago because they didn't think it was necessary (incredibly short-sighted, but I was a baby at the time). Atlanta, GA ended up with that funding and now this city is struggling to play catch up after the last population boom that displaced thousands of lower income folks.

That's a pretty big 'if' LOL and I am speaking specifically about a metropolitan area here, in this country, that was never planned to become a major city. It's nice to play 'what if', but you can't ignore what already exists. In fact, the voters here turned down federal funding for a mass

You can't assume that folks who live in a city will just give up their cars, especially when mass transit is underfunded, unreliable,and doesn't serve all areas equitably

There are many folks who live in their cars because they can't afford anything else despite being employed. Those folks need the street parking. Street parking that apartment residents take up when their buildings don't provide adequate parking for their tenants.

I live in a coastal city where the working class and poor have been priced out of their homes by the wealthy transplants that moved here for lucrative tech jobs. You think making buildings include enough parking for their residents takes away from the homeless.

I am not talking about the middle class though? And why wouldn't we want to improve the lives of the poor, just because they have struggled and made do means they prefer it that way? What an odd line of thought. The idea that poor families don't own cars is a pretty large generalization

Increasing taxes on the rich means we could allocate more of the budget to building and subsidizing housing for working class families. How is this difficult to imagine? Housing skyrocketed here because of companies like Amazon, they should help build housing so less folks get priced out of the city

Families can't rely solely on public transit for everything, especially if they can't afford to live close to civic centers. Affordable housing could be within the reach of more families if you Taxed The Rich.

We need more affordable housing for families, we could subsidize this by taxing the rich.

Congress is still majority Boomers, with a few Silent Gens clinging on. GenXers would still be significantly younger than most of who we have now

I wouldn't know. The majority of Congress has been in power for my entire life. I wouldn't mind seeing what folks under the age of 70 would do, for a change

And maybe these rich asshats can do with a few less millions/billions of assets, so those kids don't have to go without?

I bet even more poor kids could learn to read if you Taxed The Rich to help fund education
