>>1700047>imagine solving obesity by selling larger pantsTraffic, density, and population are all correlated together. So either cities are meant to grow and that means infrastructure, or cities should shrink/never grow.
Dropping a few nukes on Los Angeles, for instance, would reduce the population but also reduce traffic.
>>1700049The ultimate payoff for infrastructure (both highways and trains, really) is a larger economy that actually function properly, and it's hard to put a price tag on that. I suppose you could argue for "how MUCH do highways really help the economy" or somesuch, but that's a debate for another time (and the argument over trains if they're worth the money or not).
