Let's talk about what you people really want to talk about...
AND that is ants.
Ants are a proud peoples. They build huge colony's, and on schedule. There is no such thing as a NIMBY ant. They all live to serve their dear leader, the Queen, who sits inside her colony chamber, watching the ant version of Oprah, and pumping out more ants. She's a stay-a-home mom.
On the topic of transit, ants build giant tunnels and some colony's form massive highways. There are no lights, and the ant highway moves smoothly even though they all tailgate each other. And there was never in the history of history an ant-gate. The Queen never stopped traffic on the ant highway.
Ants are an imperialistic society. Often waging war on other ants who are part of the Quees "Axis of Evil". Incorporating these conquered colonies into their empire.
Density wise, ants live in co-ops with maximum FAR and unit counts. There is no height limit with ants, and no fear of shadows. All ant colony's are LEED Platinum certified.
