Everyone always disparages the cost of public transport but how much does it cost to maintain these highways every year? A few dozen/hundred billion dollars across the country?
Also how much supposed leasure time is wasted sitting in all those cars, making the people frustrated, sick and unfulfilled?
In USA they fund maintenance by developing the sprawl. So they are stuck in this circle where if they don't develop, they can't maintain, but developing means more surface to maintain, etc.
