Public transportation is something we need to be thinking
about. You probably forget that the reason this works in
Europe and Japan is because life built up around the
railroad. In the US, it has built up around the freeway.
Bus service is inevitably poor and railroad transportation
completely forgotten. It would be quite difficult to fix
that in the wide open (suburbs) of the wild west and would
require an enormous change of life style.
It may be easier to find a way to herd cats than to find a
solution for this.
