Because traffic isn’t going to get any better if we prioritize the needs of single person vehicles over public transit. There just isn’t a way to state it better then that.
Cars need to be inconvenienced. Someone needs to have a pretty good reason to pick it over a public transit option.
As it stands by putting cars first above people (which is where the sin of inconvenience puts us) it in the end makes everything worse for everyone. By not allowing any inconvenience for cars, it paradoxical makes everything inconvenient with laws and structure that focuses on the individual. I’d put my studies up but they are on my computer and not on my phone.
But in short, it is not a question of everyone getting what they want. Because if cars get what they want then by default everyone else can’t get what they want. Because the needs of individual flies in the face of the need for the rest of the people to get where they are going on time. This has proven to be fact time and time again.
If you can wait, I can post all my material when make it back to my computer on Tuesday.

Public transportation doesn’t go where I need. It doesn’t go to my home or to my work. There may be one stop between my home and my job, so there’s no point in me walking to the bus stop because the bus, when it does arrive, will only carry me further from either point. So my pretty good reason is, I like to be able to pay my bills and put food on my table.

100% agree that we need better public transit.
