Comment on Millionaire homeowners sued the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, arguing a 10 square mile town whose new zoning plan to increase density had no plan to expand the roads

Induced demand is also known as latent demand. If your roads are so shit people just stay home, that’s not a good thing.

Here’s a short paper from Texas A&M university on the subject. More lanes reduces congestion. Follow the citations if you’re interested.

I think you’re misrepresenting that a little. It’s not peer reviewed, doesn’t appear to have any researchers names attached at all, doesn’t mention latent demand, and doesn’t at any point consider that there could be other modes of transport. It reads to me like someone trying to sell their road building project.

  have a look at their post history, they’re clearly not here in good faith.

    I literally have citations. The only reason you think I’m in bad faith is you disagree with me.

A white paper from a civil engineering arm of a university closely associated with TX DOT citing MDOT?
