I am a civil engineer and a former member of ASCE. ASCE is an advocacy group which wants you to shut down every single other government program to dircet all budget moneys to construction of highways, bridges, damns, water treatment facilities, waste water treatment facilities and parks and recreation facilities [[construction thereof).
If you look at the position of Detroit [[8th in congestion) begs the question of "how many metro areas were measured?" Was it ten, twenty, thirty, one hundred?
Worthy of note is that Detroit was very close to Miami which shares with the Detroit metro area a square grid of section line roads and a dispersed location of employment destinations.
