I have a simple sollution.  What we have to do is start off by designing
any new neighborhoods for people, not for cars.  If you live in the
suburbs, you may recognize the fact that the most obvious feature of any
house is the garage.  What I say is to do this.  First, lay out all
streets in a grid fashion.  Second, build all houses and buildings
within a few feet of the roadside.  Third, build shorter blocks and
straight streets.  Fourth, build alleyways behind the houses for cars to
park.  Then, you design a public transit system that is efficient.
Meaning to say that the buses are bigger and more comfortable.  You
could even buy a new Hydrogen Fuel Cell based bus from Ballard Power
systems (located in Vancouver--their buses are going to be tested in
California next year).  When these things are done, all that is left is
to implement community programs that get the people involved in the
community.  These type of design will allow people to access everything
on foot, or by bus, as opposed to driving everywhere.  Seaside Florida
is the perfect example.
