"All those people" need to park? Far more people will live in town, with better transit access due to planning and higher density. The exurban sprawl commuters will be small numbers in comparison. My option encourages transit use, walking to work, etc.

As for making it easier to drive, I'd rather put our billions of dollars toward more efficient modes.

I can get to the countryside of my city on a bike or with transit. Why? Because of growth management and some smart public investments.
