they won't all be going to a CBD
Won't need to. Like Auckland's network redesign driven by improved rail spines, the key is using buses to feed frequently into rail hubs and as you say, in circle routes between them. Smaller shuttle services would help complete the picture (though aren't quite on Ak horizons yet).
Even if it takes another 30 years to deliver the whole network, it will never happen without protecting and planning development around the routes now.

You may be misreading which side of that 'right to die' argument they'd be on.

which thinks people's fundamental rights should be subject to the goodwill of others. People should remember that when voting.
I imagine that's a fair reflection of the beliefs of their supporters.

Amsterdam-style free bikes and a network of little shuttle buses going anywhere and everywhere
Sounds good. I'd still be designating future corridors for efficient mass transit once oil prices and population make private cars no longer the sole answer they seem to be to Gerry and chums.
