 @3c135028 Sure, there was huge public benefit. But did we really need to trash entire (mostly minority) neighbourhoods to build six lane freeways? And did we really need to tear up the tram systems ala Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Europe kept its passenger train networks, America mostly dismantled them.

I want us to be able to adopt this kind of technology without making those kinds of mistakes.
