"Except that LRT is one of the main drivers of intensification. If wide, one-way truck freeways was the ticket, we'd look like Vancouver." ~ jason

This is like saying:

"Religion is one of the main drivers for uniting mankind with god. If wars was the ticket, we'd look like the US".

Such thinking ends up saying nothing about religion, nor about god - besides erroneously connecting religion to the notion of god, and gratuitously connecting wars to the US.

Correctly framed, it would be:

"LRT is recognized as one of the drivers of intensification in some cities. Whereas primarily LRT is used to address some of the transportation needs in many intensified cities."

While, wide one-way truck freeways are always an abberation in all inner-cities, it is a poor counter-point to bring to most arguments.
