If you double your highways and traffic stays as bad, your highway system is delivering twice as much transportation. That is a clear improvement.

- francisofascii 5y agoNot really. Doubling your commute length is not an improvement. I have noticed places with heavier traffic tend to have shorter distances to your destination. So your total time is the same regardless.
- rictic 5y agoLife is more than just commute time. When commuting further distances you have more options of where to live and where to work.
- BurningFrog 5y agoI think you misread me. Doubling your commute length had nothing to do with my argument.
- francisofascii 5y agoI was just using commute as an example. More transportation does not always translate to a positive good. It depends on other factors.
- nitwit005 5y agoAssuming the transportation is doing anything useful, which can be hard to gauge. Ideally, everyone would be conveniently near their workplace and the places they frequently shop.
