America's political system inherently "heavily favors the interests of the rural and the suburban over the urban," Pareene writes. But even in subway-loving New York City, public transit-friendly policies are dead-on-arrival; not coincidentally, the state's governor drives. Minneapolis ought to have a great public transit system. Instead, its suburban system is ambitious, while the urban system "is unreliable, neglected, and nearly impossible to navigate." If these dense, liberal cities have "so much trouble creating and maintaining a decent mass transit system," Pareene wonders, "what hope is there for the rest of America's cities?" Click for his full column. I think the article is too negative. I am becoming more optimistic on this one. So much mass transit is getting built that more and more people are getting exposed to its benefits. There is less and less resistance to new bond issues for building more transit. I think the US is becoming more like the rest of the world. Time will tell. As for MPLS, its not fair to look at the city at one particular moment in time. Much of its mass transit is under construction.......and more is planned.

You've got to love them. They really believe they are doing God's work. * Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) sent out an appeal to supporters last week, urging them to give money to his re-election campaign instead of buying Christmas gifts. “Instead of electronics or toys that will undoubtedly be outdated, broken, or lost by the next Holiday Season, help give your children the gift of a Wisconsin that we can all be proud of,” Walker’s appeal said.
