The thing about public transportation and the public domain is that the more the public uses them, the more their value increases. It is easy to see the detrimental effects of large portions of society not using public transportation systems, but the effects of society not using the public domain, or even not being allowed to are harder to see as mentioned previously.

Money definitely seems to make food distribution simpler, but is our food distribution system sustainable???
