I'm sorry, but much as I dislike many of the current Republican party attitudes, I can't see how it's their fault that many people have chosen to live in spacious, landscaped, gated developments... in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, this may be a particularly GOP choice. Or maybe living in that kind of zone disposes residents to vote for whichever party (reality notwithstanding) promises cheaper petrol, and up till now this was the party of Kenny Boy's buddies. (remember those energy planning meetings?)

In any case, serves them right. If you choose to live somewhere obviously unsustainably reliant on incredibly cheap private transport... which suddenly ain't there... well, social Darwinism strikes again.
