What exactly is the point of this thread? Another "I love my car and you can never ever take it away." So should we start mowing down everything in this country for more roads and parking when we can't even maintain the roads we have?

Stop subsidizing gas prices, see how well the free market works then, right? That's the great irony of going on and on about the free market. Dense, auto-centric sprawl in tiny lots still blows--as a place to live in, it's a lot worse than living among greenspace.
I like Leimert Park and various other great neighborhoods in LA--those are generally also landmarked and not going to be destroyed. Those were also built in the age of suburban rail and not so much the automobile. It'd be nice LA doesn't develop into Manhattan, but instead stay polycentric and with a patchwork of interesting dense areas among other sorts of areas with something more akin to what you find in some East Asian cities.
Honestly, this video isn't very convincing. The gentleman from SCAG made some really good points, and all the ReasonTV people replied with is "we don't want L.A. to be Manhattan". Nobody even mentioned Manhattan before that, so this come across as a huge overreaction.
Well when we run out of our oil I will stop driving my car. Only thing is that I doubt I will live 600 years to see the oil run out, and that is only the oil we know about. Recently they just found reserves in the Gulf that may make the supply so much more bigger than anyone ever thought possible.

Right now, there's more money going into fossil fuel tapping than there's in alternative energies research. Oil is the future!!!
