Article completely misses the underlying issue of running out of land near urban centers to create new suburbs. Cars made suburbs viable, but only so far from cities.

One solution which ignores all the issue presented is relatively high speed rail networks which avoid congestion to quickly reach city centers. Rail averaging ~100 MPH turns an unbearable commute into a viable one, assuming the tickets aren’t overpriced.

Level 4/5 Self driving cars are another possibility, the time is still lost but watching TV or even napping on the way home is a very different proposition. Better road networks similarly extend things somewhat.

culopatin•4h ago
Lol talking about rails in the US is pointless at this point.
Retric•3h ago
US uses quite a bit of rail, just not for long distance travel. DC metro for example has stations over 30 miles out, with other options extending that to over 60.

A big part of this is having unsubsidized parking, if you or your company is paying 20+$/day on top of driving the incentives change.

xvedejas•3h ago
Roads don't scale well regardless of whether the cars are self-driving. Once you get enough cars on the same highway, there's an inflection point where speeds drop quickly. This only gets worse as you increase the radius of viable commuting distance, since that increases the total number of commuters.
Retric•3h ago
They scale when designed with scale in mind.

Most cities need more limited access highways not just more lanes. Suburbs extend much further along highways for obvious reasons, yet they get built on the way to somewhere else not just for regional transportation.

A perfect example being the south east of DC getting extremely underdeveloped relative to the west. But you can see the same pattern around many US cities.

trollbridge•3h ago
DC had a rather powerful lobby that tried to prevent building highways, particularly inside the District's limits, so very little got built in the DC-controlled areas (like the southeast).

The west was in Virginia and didn't face nearly as much opposition. 50 years later, the economic growth has been concentrated in Virginia where adequate transportation facilities were built.

Retric•2h ago
Exactly, massive economic growth follows such investments but people have largely stopped looking forward.
xvedejas•2h ago
That would be a lot more land devoted to freeways, and the associated maintenance cost. But beside that, the bottle necks are mostly not the number of highways, but rather the number of exits near the urban center. I'm skeptical that the roads in the urban center can scale much beyond what we already see in the most car oriented commuter cities in any roughly 2d configuration.
Retric•2h ago
> That would be a lot more land devoted to freeways, and the associated maintenance cost.

The benefits more than make up for those costs, ensuring those who benefit also contribute to upkeep is a delicate balance but things like congestion pricing can go a long way.

Part of the solution is to have more freeways and thus spread exits more evenly across the city. Another part is to adjust city streets around those exits so they can accommodate a large influx of traffic. Similarly you optimize traffic flow inside the city by eliminating things that limit flow like street parking etc.

Going at least a little 3D is definitely required, but not necessarily big dig levels of 3D.

trollbridge•3h ago
It isn't 1950; people are mostly going places other than city centres. Old style rail doesn't work particularly well for that.
kanbara•2h ago
so you have high speed long distance and commuter rail, and then local transit options. and you can stop at places other than coty centres. my route from berlin to hamburg has a bunch of smaller stops.

asia and europe get by fine with rail. if china can build 20 subway systems and 50 HSR routes in 10 years so can america

Retric•1h ago
Rail doesn’t need to be a 90% solution, even 10% makes a major difference on the margins.

Infrastructure like subway stations drive up local prices which means people who don’t use them tend to migrate somewhere else.

In related current news:

Paul Simon's Daughter Blasts Richard Gere for Selling Her Childhood Home to Real Estate Developer. - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/paul-simon-dau...

  SBP Homes bought Richard's family home for $10.75 million, and once it is torn down, they plan to develop the 32-acre lot into nine individual homes.
Seems a shame to not develop (say) 30 half acre homes intermixed with 30 denser multi unit dwellings and common park space .. but zoning, Nimby, expectations, etc.

Also housing shartages tend to be variable by region and perhaps New Canaan, Connecticut doesn't have that demand.

“The suburban development model is built on the premise of stasis”.

And it’s a stasis many people like, apparently.

Only in very specific, limited ways.

Housing construction in Dallas has plummeted only because the city is geographically locked. Fort Worth, only 30 miles away, is gaining an average of 68 new residents a day. It’s gained over 90,000 people since the last census and has become the 10th largest city in the country. They are building housing as fast as possible and yet the prices are still way up.
