Yeah but what's going to solve the Americans-who-can't-see-past-their-own-noses-hate-funding-transit problem? The Pennsylvania state legislature is currently causing a crisis for SEPTA.

I think it is very reasonable to be up in arms about transit funding in the US until we get our costs under control. If we had Asian levels of cost-per-mile we would be rioting if we didn't have our current levels of spending.

Great article for the most part, then throws in abundant parking? Great transit should reduce the need for parking, such that current levels are adequate, and in the long term go down.

Disagree. Parking structures are complements for transit and current levels are not adequate. I believe in getting places fast; I'm not a zealot for or against any particular modality.

But it won't. Chicken and egg problem in the US. Mostly solo occupant ICE vehicles are deeply ingrained in the sense of freedom and entitlement in American culture.
