Nothing personal, but, you aren't thinking logically on this. As I mentioned in my previous post, the majority of the US lacks a public transportation system of any type. Also, many people are physically unable to take your advice and walk to/from work, or locate to an area where that is an option.
What you are advocating is fine for a metro area, but, unworkable elsewhere.
It is easy to say screw them, they screwed up. I for one am the first who thinks like that. Realistically that attitude doesn't work in the world we live in.
