More highways also means more freedom. The ability to take a job that's further away from your home. The ability to get a home in a less expensive area further from your job. Limiting transportation in order to reduce the number of cars on the road has its own expenses.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
