Exactly this.  Widening is well proven NOT to ease traffic in the long run.  It just moves the traffic around, and eventually more cars take that route and everyone is in traffic again.

LA has 10 lane free ways that are at a stand still a lot of the time.

The only thing proven to ease congestion: mass transport.  More buses, more trains, less parking and highways lanes.[/quote]noy everyone can afford to live inside the beltway [/quote]

So what? There can be more buses, more trains, less parking, and fewer highway lanes outside the Beltway too. In fact, there should be.[/quote]

So you favor people spending 3 hours each way waiting on and riding busses and trains, instead of an hour in their car.

Nice. [/quote]

No. I favor improving bus and train service, so that a bus/train trip doesn't take 3 hours each way vs 1 hour by car.[/quote]
