Economies function better overall when they aren't saddled with subsidizing car dependency. For instance, The Bronx was supposed to get a busway along Fordham Road, its busiest commercial corridor. But it got blocked by the business owners who drive in from the suburbs, even though the busway would have brought extra foot traffic to their stores and improved sales. They just didn't want to take public transit with the poors.
