Better is not good enough. One place has to show the full potential of public transport, with the option for everybody to move there. That forces every other city to be equally good.

Too expensive. People can't just move there.

That exists outside America, and where it exists within America, rent is too high because everyone wants to live there.

Other cities being more livable hasn't made the landlords and small business owners who own city governments across America decide to allow public transit.

That's why everybody has to move into one designated city and determine politics with their votes.

Select a city that can be expanded and low rent will become an additional advantage.
