How do you fix American public transportation?

Give it lots of money--make it the main infrastructure priority over highway expansion in urban and suburban areas. Supplement that with Oregon-style urban growth boundaries designed to encourage high density development and discourage sprawl.

Obviously this stuff is f***ed up enough to be hard to fix, but that's the starting point.

A lot of white people don’t want to live near brown and black people. Can you really imagine a “MAGA type” living near Latinos.

Do people become more racist when they have kids? Plenty of people live in NYC until they have kids.

Yeah, but such people still have the option to live in an integrated suburb or in one which is not.

Not necessarily. Those kinds of decent middle-class+ integrated neighborhoods may exist around larger cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, NoVa, NYC, etc. There aren't a whole lot, if any, in say Sarasota, FL or Appleton, WI.

I was talking about NYC in response to Bronz's comment, but actually Sarasota is fairly diverse.
