A societal change of our car culture can only be accomplished with a viable alternative to the automobile. A change enacted by bureaucratic procedure runs counter to the government juggernaut. The procedure of the governmental planning is to maintain the status-quo.
The only known possibilities of automobile alternatives within the system of traditional transportation planning is to re-implement the old technologies. This includes 150 year old technology of rail travel with trains, trolleys and streetcars. These are wonderful examples of man's ingenuity and entrepreneurial fortitude; in the 1800s.
It is time to realize this is 2010 and move past the mobility options of the past. To even discuss implementation of archaic transportation technology is a vivid example and statement to the foolishness, greed and corruption of politics. Land use follows mobility access. Major urban growth decisions regarding transportation made by political favors and paybacks reveals a broken system.
