We could always build fewer roads, and give people the option to choose other modes of transportation besides the automobile.

For example, how about we start with a heavy passenger rai line from Ann Arbor to DTW to Detroit...

...Oh wait, oops, never mind.


Oh oh oh, but how about this, we can try building a light passenger rail along Woodward from downtown to 8 Mile. Not only would it give the option of residents who live along Woodward outside of downtown to get to/from the CBD faster, it would also increase the walkability of downtown/midtown...!!!

Oh wait, oops, that ain't happening either...

Oh well...
