Sometimes what we intend to say looks way different in print (from the
same USA Today article). But it brings a paradox to the front about
sprawl:
"As development spreads out across the region, the density of travel
along a particular route downtown decreases and the opportunities for
ride-sharing go down," said Dougherty, who works on transportation
issues in the Philadelphia region. "That's another problem of suburban
sprawl."
------------------
Since when carpooling became a solution for sprawl? If congestion
(density of travel) went down, is that a problem? And if sprawl is
responsible for alleviating that problem then that must be a good
thing!!
My 2 cents.
