"Yes, We Do Need to Build More Roads"

Right on.

Aaron Renn's column on newgeography.com is right on.

As this chart from his column points out, the population growth of the past decade would not have fit in the nation's 12-largest cities even if every existing resident moved out.

A nation with 90-150 million more people in the next 40 years, a point made by Joel Kotkin and emphasized by Renn, makes the point about urban density maxing out even stronger.

Suburban growth remains not only likely, but absolutely necessary.

We DO need to keep building more roads.
