Until everybody insists like you on driving. Because of the increased traffic, it now takes longer. Not to mention trying to find parking. And with the extra traffic, it's dangerous to bike now. Oh well.

It depends on the density. If it is a desirable place to live, that will definitely happen. If it isn't, you can still drive and more people won't necessarily join you in driving. The secret is to just live in a so-so place.

This conversation always goes:

- "there should be fewer cars in cities"

- "I need my car in my rural area, there's no-one close by"

- 200 pages of back and forth talking over each other

If you're not in a city or city adjacent, any infraatructure change won't affect you at all.
