You think it's bad now; wait until someone tries changing ANYTHING, EVER, in Barrhaven, Kanata, or Orleans.
This is why curvy-wurvy is bad. The very physical form implies a permanent separation and segregation of uses. Grids can evolve, and suggest that possibility. Curvy-wurvy will be forever curvy-wurvy, and, being unable to absorb natural change in accordance with economic pressures, will only cause more curvy-wurvy to be built further out... unless and until we break the goddamn curvy-wurvy cycle once and for all.

Why do people also insist everyone else drives everywhere?

Because they drive everywhere, and can't imagine life any other way. Of course, when
they drive, that doesn't constitute "traffic". "Traffic" is from other people's driving.
