Sure thing, so you're saying a phased in approach that mainly focuses on the cities. I agree with that 100%. I'm just not a fan of people saying "that's all we need to do" and our problems are all fixed. Because it excludes the vast majority of the areas where I am from and I'm wondering if people have solutions other than "build more infrastructure". Everything else I agree with.
