When they put up highways, they very *very" often bulldozed through poor black neighborhoods. They didn't care.

I don't suggest we start doing that again, but the US had and has the capability to build out a fantastic trail system, but the highway system is lobbied for hard by car manufacturers.

AMTRAK gets like an eighth of the federal funding that roads get.
