Reply to comment by bostonmacosx in Report: Boston traffic is the fourth worst in the world by JBupp

Ok let's think about this....

Bike and pedestrian infrastructure is for people already inside the city. It used to be normal for people inside the city to drive everywhere but that's been changing (due to better infrastructure)

For outside the city, they need to expand commuter rails and probably create a commuter bus system for the directly surrounding areas.

There is no way to solve the passenger vehicle traffic issue in Boston without lowering the amount of cars used.

But they will be their if I need them

And if I have children they can go to them.

Limited financial aid makes it hard for many to go to schools and increases the debt many will have to go into. It increases costs, so many in the middle class either need to go into debt or just not go to school.

Increasing cost of education....bad

No.

Increased student count increases operating costs, which increases the cost per student. It's also just fucked that my taxes go to fund other students going to these schools but my children may not be eligible.

Increased demand is part of the reason why college has gotten so expensive.
