It seems to me like the real solution to a lot of traffic and affordable housing problems is 'work-from-home' ideology. In the 1800s it was common for business owners to contract with homesteads to produce good for them, which is then picked up and sold in markets (i.e. shoes). These 'workers' were free to find work as they chose between seasons. Of course, a very different world now with scheduled mortgage payments and other needs, however there must be a tipping point. The 'sharing/contractor' economy seems to be an inevitable ideological revolution.
