    One of the paradoxes of car-dependence is that it creates a strong incentive for economic stagnation

        Specifically, it makes "traffic" and "congestion" into miserable things that the government and populace want to fight at every turn...

        ...even though *high volumes of people going through a place* is a fundamental requirement for (& consequence of) economic activity

        Long before cars existed, commercial areas were *concentrations* of people far above the normal residential density

        This concentration was only temporary, of course--the market breathes in people in the morning, breathes them out at night--so it could work

        But since commercial densities are higher than residential ones, commerce implies a) moving lots of people to & from the commercial area...

        ...and b) moving lots of people around IN the commercial area. Cars are lousy tools for this job

        The basic problem with cars/roads/parking lots is this: THE MORE PEOPLE USE IT, THE LESS EFFECTIVELY IT WORKS

        Everyone knows this--the best road is the empty road. The best parking lot is the empty lot. Unfortunately, commerce needs crowds!

        Now, don't get me wrong--crowded trains aren't any more fun than crowded roads. But there's one important difference: the train still works.

        A packed highway turns a 30 minute trip into an hour. A packed train turns a 30 minute trip into a crowded 30 minute trip.

        Remember, *country and city are different worlds.* What works well in one is often a hassle and nuisance in the other.
