You could have not come off so rude had you changed "dumb" to "not ideal". Are you saying it's dumb that as a country we require vehicle ownership in so many places? Or that people who own vehicles are dumb because they should all take almost non-existent public transit, or because they should lease?

It's lazy to exclaim something so obviously incendiary without following it up with an explanation or a reasonable proposal - "everyone in the country move to a city" not being one.

And for the record, I am from the South, I love vehicles and driving, and I also wish like Hell that we could have trains between the Texas metro areas, and public transit on the freeway corridors to the main business and residential districts. I also know it's a multi-generational effort, if it will ever happen.
