I highly recommend researching the Dutch street design. By explicitly avoiding freeways and encouraging biking, they save so much time (no traffic) and money (think long term health benefits of cycling, no pollution, cheaper infrastructure, lower reliance on fossil fuels, fewer accidents, more visits to local businesses) it's insane the rest of the world isn't copying them ASAP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuBdf9jYj7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuBdf9jYj7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsQQ8Ujbua4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsQQ8Ujbua4

The region I live in has about the same land area as the Netherlands, and less than 2% of the population. Of course we don't really have traffic problems, but I wonder how we are supposed to build similar amounts of infrastructure? Should we stop living here and move somewhere with more people?

  Move closer together, pool resources and allow nature to exist in the now empty space.
