why are cities in america

why are cities in america so reluctant to put in light rail? sure it costs money to build, but it's less than putting in a freeway per mile. sure it costs money to run, but think of the benefits; less traffic, less polution, less drunk driving, fewer accidents. i grew up in frankfurt, germany, and it was almost unheard of for someone to go downtown drinking and take their car. why drive when you could be downtown in less than 30 minutes, and not have to worry about who is going to quit drinking early. i am so happy that minneapolis has light rail construction underway as we speak, and i wish las vegas would get off their asses, and make it a reality. the rest of the major cities in the usa should pull their collective heads out of their asses, and start building light rail systems now, so that the systems will be encompassing enough when the need really hits(once their is way too much road traffic) that the system is useful.
