Lesson: Urban sprawl is a result of population growth, not of road building.
---------------------------------------------

Sprawl is the result of transportation and land use decisions over the last 
65 years have made it easier and cheaper for people to live in burbs than in 
the city.  As the population grew, people moved to where they could afford 
to live.
