Is there an example of a vote, in the last two decades, for transit projects over roads that has actually led to high density neighborhoods where residents use mass transit to get to their jobs?
The only reason I ask, is because I'm almost finished reading, in The Power Broker, how Robert Moses permanently crippled the NYC metro area and Long Island in particular, forcing them into a lower-density, automobile-centric society, when they would have been better served by mass transit, which he let rot on the vine. I imagine most other metro areas that were expanding at the time followed the same path.
