Public transit isn't usable because we don't build housing dense enough.

For example, Seattle area just spent tens of billions on light rail expansion, then built the outlying stations next to the freeway. Half the walkable distance is wasted. Then they build parking garages and zero amenities. They're surrounded by dangerous parking lot and multi-lane roads. It's not designed to actually be used by enough volume to matter! And even if people did come (which they won't) it can't handle more than a small portion of the existing traffic because it's too slow and can't be expanded and can't have express routes.

This is the best we get, for tens of billions!

The closest house to these stations is ~10 minute walk. There are massive parking garages, but basically no accommodations for bikes (paths upon arrival or parking). All ugly concrete slabs with no covering from the sun or elements (outside the station, for connecting transit).

Luckily it never rains here, so don't worry about getting wet...
