I am not understanding why I am getting this sentence wrong:
Los transportes son (tan importante como) la vivienda.
Thanks!

make sure that you have all the words in there that you need. I don't know for sure, but the (tan + como) looks fine, to me, but I could be wrong. - actorgirl, Nov 22, 2013

From what I can see, you're only missing an -s at the end of importante to match the plural subject.
Los transportes son tan importantes como la vivienda.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Well to me it does not make much sense in English.
Transport is as important as housing.
Maybe herein lies your problem.

What's wrong with that? Looks ok, if that's what you think? - annierats, Nov 22, 2013
I guess but it seems like apples and oranges to me. - gringojrf, Nov 22, 2013
Also being a home builder I am a little biased. Where goes housing so goes the economy. Not so with transportation. - gringojrf, Nov 22, 2013
Nothing wrong with yours. Usually we would say "transportation" = transporte ;-D - chileno, Nov 22, 2013
