if everyone is driving, noone is.
This is simple game theory and a system fault happens when there are too many cars.
You can't widen city streets.
For example: public transportation in NY is often faster and cheaper than a car + parking.
- ascagnel_ 1y agoI would argue that a public transportation network is a requirement, maybe even a prerequisite, for high density. Manhattan simply could not work without the various public transportation methods -- if everyone commuting in from CT, LI, NJ, upstate NY, etc., had to drive in, would there even be enough space for all those cars on the island?
