My guess is that business as usual highway expansion and a transit system that would support our present pattern of exburb sprawl are both pipe dreams as we continue the slide down the post peak oil depletion curve. We won't be able to fuel the first one, and we won't be able to afford either of them in a world of ongoing economic shrinkage (as opposed to economic growth).

When the "Stimulus" is spent, the sovereign debt bubble bursts, and the next $100+ per barrel oil price shock have hit, all of which I'd say will be within the next 18 months, folks might just stop drinking the kool-aid and take a more realistic look
