Sounds similar to Jevon's Paradox [1], where consumption rises with increasing energy efficiency. Also, as transportation gets faster, commutes don't get short

Sounds similar to Jevon's Paradox [1], where consumption rises with increasing energy efficiency. Also, as transportation gets faster, commutes don't get shorter, people just move farther and farther from their workplace. I'm sure there are lots of other parallels too.
