don’t forget that having everyone drive is much more profitable than having everyone walk, bike, or take transit

conservatives aren’t actually afraid of subways and public transit, they have a very specific goal. they want big cities to seem scary so that less people to move to them / leave them so they’ll move conservative states instead, and so that they can privatize public transit

Walking, biking, and transit result in higher local spending. If you're car-free, then that's more money into your community that'd otherwise be servicing loans and paying insurance. Not to mention the health costs to society, road maintenance, etc.
