I know I sound like a broken record concerning overpopulation sometimes. However, I can't understand why, for example, NBC Nightly News can run a story like this one:
Study: Drivers lose 5 days a year to traffic - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com
and not even mention the fact that the root cause of the problem is overpopulated urban areas. True, they do say that one of the causes is "too many people."
I guess I just see some things differently.

The study offers a menu of options for addressing congestion, including adding roads or lanes where needed, improving public transportation and changing driving patterns through flexible work schedules, telecommuting and carpooling.
None of those options provides a long-term solution, and none address the basic problem.
