    Bad traffic is just a consequence of how cities are being built. A “real” solution will involve making urban planning for cars more expensive than urban planning for pedestrians, starting with reforming zoning policies that force everything to be far apart by design.

    We can’t expect to have a decent amount of traffic in large urban centers if most need to get across the city to get to work, or drive 10 miles for a grocery trip. This american suburban lifestyle needs a reform.
