The better the roads get, the further out people live.  I call this the law of constant misery.  People will move out of the city as far as a ~45 minute commute will allow them.<p>This is a very common theme all across the world and time.  It&#x27;s quite literally the tragedy of the commons, nobody has any direct incentive not to move further out or drive all the way across town or whatever and we all suffer in traffic for it.
