I'll tell you: You are better off for 'having we we have'.
Your logic is not sound.
A successful Detroit in the future will depend on good transportation for goods and services.
Good transportation for goods and services alone will not make Detroit successful.
This logic extends elsewhere...
A successful Detroit in the future will depend on civic financial responsibility.
Civic financial responsibility wiill not alone make Detroit successful.
Its all about doing everything right. No 'magic' bullets, unfortunately.
But you can't argue that we're a failure because we have no congestion, when in fact we have no congestion because we're a failure.
Good transportation helps. It is not by itself sufficient. We are better off than we would be without the ability to move about our goods efficiently around our area.
Investment in transportation is of course not the only thing that has to be done.
