  1. Yeah, there are problems with urban sprawl, but people, who advocate against use of cars are delusional. Sure, they may heat the planet a little. Well, there aren't really alternatives present, because you don't buy a car to get from A to B, you buy that car to get from A to B at your convenience. I live in the city of Brno. I can buy a single ticket and ride it in the city and out of it, even leaving my county and country. I can take a tram or a bus from basically anywhere in the city to anywhere in the city at any time of day, but I'm limited at some times of day, because the bus runs once in an hour or every thirty minutes (depends on the day). It is still not enough. Imagine you live somewhere in the city and you have to wait thirty minutes in cold, because you've missed your bus, when your teeth ache like there's no tomorrow. That is the reason people buy cars. So they don't have to deal with this shit and no amount of public transport refinement is going to change that. And believe me, there is no way that in my city, there aren't at least fifty people a day, who have to get in to their cars and drive to emergency dental facility every day. No my city has about 400k. Imagine how many people need to do the same in NYC.
