    There are lots of other things where people say “there are millions of us let’s do x together” where nothing happens. As example, plenty of people likes old cars and wish that car companies will build cars like in the past and nothing happens.

    I think it would be easier for existing cities to prioritize public transport in new areas that are being built in the city. It would be a smaller step, people can move there and still keep their job.

      For the old cars nothing happens because there is no majority to change the regulations, which could be changed easily.

      Likewise new areas could easily have public transport but there are no majorities for that.

      It’s all about having the majority.

      Jobs also go to where skilled workers are and there are remote jobs. The selection of the designated city is the big problem, not the jobs.
