Re: Portal ... take two w/link

the flaw is a national policy of support for auto usage to the near exclusion of all else. As Jarrett Walker of humantransit.org points out the geometry of single driver cars forces huge highways and parking lots. Even with the most comprehensive transit in the US Manhattan still attracts too many cars for the space available.
When badly managed automobile manufacturers got in trouble billions in public money were spent to revive/salvage them; when transit car builders got in trouble, not a dime was spent to aid them.
I am allforfixing the flaw,but it is staill very much like trying to cut waste at DOD--the corporations who benefit have long ago purchased the elected/appointed officials who dispense the revenues.
