    we could absolutely build up denser housing in urban cores to shift the population over time into areas that allow for more efficient transportation.

    Sounds like prison

      No, it really doesn’t, unless one simply does not know what “prison” means. Improving access to transportation is entirely counter to the point of a prison, given that the primary characteristic of a prison is being hard to leave.

        Having someone live below, above, and on either side within a couple of feet absolutely sounds like prison conditions. As far as hard to leave, unless you’re walking or biking, you don’t have that much freedom of movement, at least in comparison to a car or a motorcycle which becomes much more of a hassle of owning in cities. I’m also not saying cities should cater more to cars either.
