Still, the point is that the transportation systems in the US have co-evolved with the growth and spread of its population. So I suppose you could technically say it's a "chicken-egg" problem. But only in the sense that the "chicken-egg" actually does have a real answer and that answer is they evolved together. There were various major decisions made along the way along with millions of everyday choices made by individuals.
