As far as I can tell that is exactly the outcome the induced demand folks are hoping for, or something close to it.
- crazygringo 5y agoI'm sorry, who are "induced demand folks"? What does that even mean? And I'm unaware of anyone proposing the elimination of cars as serious policy. At most it's limiting vehicles in parts of dense pedestrian city centers. People who are generally "left-leaning" on transportation envision a healthy mix between public transportation, cycling, and cars. They simply want car usage to be balanced with alternatives, rather than cars dominating by default. Virtually everyone recognizes that cars are necessary for a wide variety of uses. They're not going away, so I don't think you need to worry about that.
