In this house, we believe....

1.  Cars are strangling our cities.
2. Building more roads just attracts more traffic and makes things worse.
3. Freeways pull people and businesses away from city centers.
4. Limiting cars downtown would help cities.
5. Rail transit moves more people more efficiently than roads.
6. Good rail would remove the need for many planned freeways.
7. Freeways eat up valuable land and shrink the city tax base.
8. Public transport needs funding to compete fairly with heavily subsidized roads.
9. Driving is expensive for individuals and for society.
10. Urban freeways cost enormous amounts of public money per mile.
