[quote=Anonymous]The "induced demand" theory applies in the long run not short run. The question is how long it takes to reach that. For example, the ICC was opened about 10 years ago. It's still not congested. What happened to induced demand? The other thing about it is that if the claim adding lanes makes traffic worse, then why not reduce 270 to 1 lane each way. Won't that make traffic better? We know it wont... As for people working near their home, that's ideal, but in a 2-earner household, it's not easy for both parents to find a job near their home, and it's not easy to just pick up and move each time someone gets a new job. It's also not likely the person will hold that job for 20+ years. So, people will need to commute. [/quote]
