Transit isn't normally an attack on cars, but getting rid of a car lane that carries 1000 people an hour and replacing it with a bike line that carries 10 people an hour sure is. Not just an attack on cars, but also an attack on common sense. Even more so because most of the people I see riding bikes around here appear to be doing it for exercise and there's no reason that those of us trying to get to work should be delayed as a result.

It must, right?

If the government were only zoning for 5000sqft mansions then maybe you would have a point, but simply owning a home isn't exactly a bastion of wealth.

Yeah, pretty much. Basically everything that they don't support is racist because... reasons. But again the real irony is it's the liberal's excessive regulations that are causing housing prices in liberal areas to skyrocket.
Just look at CNN any given day and it's all but certain there will be some story about how a white person committed a crime against a non-white person. Sounds like there's a racist epidemic going on.. until you realize there are 320,000,000 people in the country so on any given day you could probably find plenty of crimes committed by any given race against any other given race. But CNN (and other liberal "media" outlets) want to push racial animus in the country in order to get more clicks and push their liberal political agenda so of course you only ever hear about white perpetrators again non-white victims.
