Induced demand is a funny thing: most people want more space (I want more space!), but suburban sprawl in the US reveals how little that space actually gets use

Induced demand is a funny thing: most people want more space (I want more space!), but suburban sprawl in the US reveals how little that space actually gets used: guest bedrooms that aren’t opened for years, furnished basements with untouched pool tables, a single common room that everybody actually uses, &c. Put another way: car-driven development induces desire for sprawl, but living patterns reveal actual preferences here.
