Who are you talking to ? Who is arguing against all regulation ? <| sep |> There is no question that the car is the best way for you to get to work . The problem is that it ' s not the best way for everyone to get to their work because of the congestion that it causes . People have a one hour travel time budget for commuting , which translates to 30 minutes in each direction . The better the highway network the more sprawl you will get as people look to get larger living areas for cheaper among other benefits found in suburban communities . I don ' t think Europe has the problem with sprawl that North America has . The lack of culture found in suburban Canada and America coupled with the high cost of running and maintaining infrastructure to these communities as well as many other costs makes sprawl very undesirable for city planning .
