> I'd also like to see cities build more houses where the jobs are. This is what Vancouver did. The amount of cars entering and exiting the downtown core is the same since the 1960s, but the amount of downtown jobs is dramatically higher. This is possible because they substantially added residential housing into the downtown core so that many could walk and bike to work, and by adding rapid transit. Expansion of road capacity wasn't needed. Additionally instead of a hub and spokes model where everyone would live elsewhere and commute into downtown, Vancouver is organized like a loose federation of towns, each with residential and employment options. In suburbs of Vancouver such as Langley, more people work there or in adjacent suburbs than commute into City of Vancouver proper.
