Opponents of suburban lifestyles rely on the myth that outside forces caused Americans to move to the suburbs. This myth, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guest post by Charles Marohn
There is no question that the greatest force that shapes the form of American cities is transportation. And, since the National Defense and Highways Act of 1956, the federal government has dictated that the country’s transportation system would be based almost exclusively on the automobile. While we won’t overlook the improved standard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: This is the first of what may become a series of interblog debates between the Antiplanner and Charles Marohn of the Strong Towns Blog.
Many opponents of low-density suburbs &#8212; areas they derisively call &#8220;sprawl&#8221; &#8212; argue that Americans would not have chosen to live in such areas unless they were subsidized or forced to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2001 National Household Transportation Survey (NHTS) found that the average motor vehicle contains about 1.6 people (see table 16). But a report from the Department of Energy observes that &#8220;intercity trips [have] higher-than-average vehicle occupancy rates&#8221; (see appendix C-3, page C-3.4). 
How much higher? The answer, curiously, comes from the California High-Speed Rail Authority, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At last, a new reason why high-speed rail won&#8217;t work: bad architecture. According to this Chicago Tribune architecture critic, Chicago&#8217;s Union Station once had a beautiful, skylit concourse between the waiting room and trains, but it was replaced by a couple of skyscrapers. Now travelers have to walk through low-ceilinged tunnels that are confusing, apparently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The White House released its proposed 2011 federal budget today, including the transportation budget. For the most part, this budget is an extension of past budgets, but it includes a few new programs.
First, the budget includes $4 billion for a National Infrastructure Innovation and Finance Fund, also known as an &#8220;infrastructure bank.&#8221; The Antiplanner has [...]]]></description>

Such claims are commonly made today for high-speed rail, but most transit advocates [...]]]></description>
