The more roads, the more opportunities your citizens have access to.

I don't think this is true.

Also, those same people don’t want to live in Apartments that they’ll never be allowed to own,

You can own an apartment

packed like sardines in a population dense building.

Density has a number of benefits. More cultural output, less isolation, it doesn't feel like a post apocalypse scene when you go outside.

So, roads allow them to have their own houses out in the suburbs - and the more of them, the faster they can get to their destination.

This is satire, right? Poe's law is real.

This also supplies businesses with a wider reach of the population for whatever their needs are.

Foot traffic is good for businesses and neighborhoods. Car traffic much less so

And people don’t want to waste an extra 45 minutes getting to their destination by waiting on public transportation.

Public transit is often faster. Plus I can do many more things on the train than I can while driving (reading, games, some kinds of work, etc)

Delays are unacceptable.

Car based transit introduces many delays.

Your post is a joke right? I can't tell.

I was gonna respond to them but honestly, I couldn't even begin to think of where. That comment was so wrong on so many levels.

Just the simple fact that someone would unironically say that you can't own a condo is just wild to me, let alone the rest.
