Yep. We literally spend billions to cater to them with LRT. That doesn't work. So now we're literally spending billions on roads to cater to them. Which will inevitably fail because 1) Downs-Thomson paradox 2) parking is being reduced everywhere. So in a few years we'll have more roads to maintain, still have congestion and dysfunctional transit, and the very suburbanites who got us into this mess by viotng for these politicians will be here whining how it wasn't their fault.
