== So you can say that 30% of your consumption goes directly to land use, because cars need infrastructure and because we refuse high density housing and increased barrier for new housing supply.==

Aren’t the most dense and transit friendly places also the most expensive (SF, NYC, etc.)?

Density is part of the equation, but you need to keep increasing housing supply. Ditto for transportation investment.

Trains are very cost effective method of transportation, but it doesn't mean squat if fare is high and demand is overwhelming.
