    Its about economic success and density. You can build really low density environments where people drive fast but really far, so travel time limits traffic. Go any higher density, while being prosperous, and traffic increases to match road capacity for any practical amount of road you build.

    People want the density because it enables greater specialization and the prosperity and higher wages which come with that.

      Texas has dense parts too, like parts of Dallas. It’s not a good excuse.
