Thanks! for making this response. I didn't attempt to respond in a
similar vein, because my experience is that once you read something like
the initial paragraph above, you can usually be pretty sure that you're
in the domain of ideology, not rational debate or problem solving.

I'll say again: no substitute for having had the opportunity to live for
a while in some "place in the world" that has a good public
transportation.
