It seems, to me, that this observation is sparse and to the point. I presume you agree with developing the possibility of local public transportation (say like bike paths, walking-friendly side-walks, and weekend bus rides to select parks and commercial centers.) I know, I know--what you are suggesting is already too radical. To add anymore is to make it beyond crazy. Let’s see: I disagree with the term gluttonous.

Where I live is a maze of cul de sacs and isolated sub-divisions. Most folks seem to prefer it that way and would not take kindly to me suggesting we open roads to connect where feasible. My road is one of the few that actually connects two major arteries and over the years there have been plenty of requests to close off one end to stop transient traffic. Emergency access has prevented any success which pleases me. I appreciate having two ways in & out. However, to placate, the county made it illegal and difficult to turn left onto or from my road. Concrete medians are in place to discourage along with regular police presence. We are in accord. What a pleasure.
