Because it diverts money, people, and attention away from solving those
problems. Which gets priority - space or surface transportation?
Why not both?
Not enough money.
Sure there is. It's just a matter of priorities.
The only difference here is that you're asking Joe Average to be ready
to
give up his/her SUV (or at least keep it garaged a lot more) and they don't
want to do it.
No, what I'm asking is for a lot more - responsibility.
That's what I said, Jim...Joe Average doesn't want to give up his/her
SUV. To do so would be to take some responsibility for participating in
helping the enviroment.
