I know. It's hard problem, primarily a coordination problem, but also a problem of energy. It's solvable, but when push comes to shove, people don't want to change.

I live in liberal SF and people won't even increase density, much less give up their precious automobiles to cut their carbon footprint. It's a much more difficult problem to solve. Most of the people who say they care about climate change won't even give up beef, much less ride an ebike.
