Exactly, I seem to remember some city, I think it was Chicago, considering converting its HOV lanes to general traffic. There was a study by UCal-Berkely (of all places) showing that HOW lanes actually increase congestion. For years now the left has wanted to discourage the private ownership and use of automobiles by individuals, largely in an effort to promote a more "European" urban lifestyle. After all, with public mass transit, the government has effective control over when and where you can travel, work, and live.

After all, with public mass transit, the government has effective control over when and where you can travel, work, and live.

And whether you can even leave town.

The less need you have for a car for work or play, the less need you have for a car.
