    To accommodate a good mass transit they would need to demolish large portions of the cities to install rail lines

    I don’t think this is true, at least not initially. There are cheaper alternatives, such as BRTs (dedicated bus lanes) and updating zoning to encourage destinations to develop closer. Sure, the US is obviously mostly car-centric today, but the cynical all-or-nothing mindset is hindering cities’ ability to even begin to make progress.
