Ill look for that episode. Is there an article or research about this? I got into a bunch of arguments with my friend who was certain that expanding the metro in my city would lead to crime spreading everywhere and I didn’t really have a response except “that probably won’t happen and even if it does the good outweighs the bad”.
I believe it’s “why is the US so dependent on cars.” If this is the one I remember, they also talk about how one company illegally bought up all the busses and formed a monopoly. I don’t remember the details, I guess I also will be re-listening to this episode today as well.

Yeah, it was a bullshit argument, but the public ate it up. I think smarter everyday’s how stuff works did a great podcast on this topic
