    Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.

    • US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
    • Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
    • Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top

    Highly recommend watching this video.
