Imagine someone saying something nice about Car2Go, Uber and Lyft.  Planners
as a group all push higher and higher density living as an ideal and use the
word "sprawl" alot, even when our population in the nation as a whole is
DE-sprawling and moving to fewer and fewer areas.  This is also happening in
the world as a whole, not that the human race is over 50% urbanized, which
happened about 1996.  It puzzles me how planners never mention the
long-distance role of trains moving things such as oil, but worry about the
expensive movement of passengers by rail.
