as if they were comparable sprawl?
- nraynaud 8y agoWait the sprawl is caused by the car, not the other way around. People always increase their drive time, if you give them better roads they just sprawl more.
- username90 8y agoThat is a dumb comparison, the problem we are discussing is that SF sprawl is less dense, of course it will appear huge on a map compared to denser cities. SF metropolitan area is 4.8 million, about twice that of Copenhagen, but its sprawl looks way more than twice the size of Copenhagen sprawl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco%E2%80%93Oakland%E2%80%93Hayward,_CA_Metropolitan_Statistical_Area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco%E2%80%93Oakland%...
- LoSboccacc 8y agoagain, caused by the close proximity of cities splitting up the metropolitan area around the bay, the actual sprawl is of those cities combined as people do commute from one another.
