Why's that? I can't wait to NOT live in a city.

That's like a crime against humanity.
When you've come to that point, you should just ban cars altogether and go for an extensive public transport system of busses, streetcars and trains that all Miami inhabitants are able to use for free + a network of biking roads.
You do have to wonder why though. An extensive and cheap (or free for certain/all demographic groups) public transport system can help both the economy and the overall livability of a city. Traffic jams are a major cost for the economy, and making all parts of the city accessible for every person with public transportation can give boosts to the economy. And then there are side effects like less noise inconvenience, less accidents and less pollution, which all have their effect on the economy and budget of the city.pirata said:Unfortunately, they live in America, and America can't have nice things like public transportation
The main issue with getting around Miami is that it's an extremely large city that was designed with cars in mind. You're basically expected to have a car in Miami, because if you don't, you're going to have a ridiculously hard time getting around. There are buses, but they're few in number (missed your bus? guess you'll be waiting 45 minutes for another one), so unless you plan your route really well, it takes forever to get anywhere.Souldriver said:You do have to wonder why though.

I'm not saying more public transportation is best by definition. It still is a very expensive service, and has to be thought through very well. But when you've got a 20 lane highway going through your city, you definitely should look into it.
So has Miami tried to solve the road problem? And if yes, by anything other than building extra lanes? And if no. Why not? Financially impossible? No infrastructure? No support due to the mentality of the inhabitants? Also, I guess starting from scratch building public transport almost seems impossible, if the city has never been built with it in mind.
Holy shit. Thats the definition of unsustainable.Viewt said:

Springfield, OR (Taken from Kelly Butte, about half a mile from where I live... it doesn't always look this good from the ground):
And Eugene, OR (Shelbyville, yes Matt Groening grew up here. Eugene/Springfield are the conceptual inspirations for both cities, if not necessarily the visual ones -- though there certainly are a few similarities):
Eugene's prettier overall IMO, but the towns are literally right across the river from each other. Might as well be one.
