There is no way on earth Biden would veto this.

Americans really do love to work. If they didn't, then they'd be fighting for worker protections like Europe has.

People act like you need a huge population to have rail, but #Germany moves people around smaller towns just fine by rail.

Implement mixed-use zoning with rent controls, and I think you'll find that not everybody wants to have a lawn.

And do I need to explain why being outside for several minutes isn't as much of an issue in places with lots of tall buildings?

I understand the impulse to call them inherent, but they're really just consequences of the same bad policy that kept people off public transit for 60 years.

I'd bet that a lot of that inefficiency was built in as a precondition of its passage. That's how it works in red states. Let blue islands implement "woke" policies, but only in ways that kneecap them from the beginning, so you can campaign against their "failure" in a few years.

Edited for clarity.

You can be a better hermit in a city than in a suburb. City folk mind their own business and make a point of not noticing each other. Suburbanites are always in each other's business -what do you think an HOA is?

It's even worse than THAT: those huge trucks you see nowadays are almost never used to haul anything, and the owners don't even try to pretend anymore -they acknowledge that it's just about giving off a manly image.
