No doubt that's true, but I think that you minimize the difficulty.
Peoples' ideas of where they want to live are somewhat entrenched.
All those typical priorities have a strong impact on what people want
to do. Much of the time they simply outweigh any realistic increased
value on placement for transportation.  This is one of the reasons I
believe it is the way the area is built, not just individual choices,
that have to be changed.

Somebody told me to get a life.  So I went to buy one at the K-Mart,
but nobody there seemed to have one.
