U.S. Population on Track to 300 Million
"Because the U.S. has become a suburban nation, sprawl has become the most predominant form of land use," said Vicky Markham, director of the Center for Environment and Population, an advocacy group. "Sprawl is, by definition, more spread out. That of course requires more vehicles and more vehicle miles traveled."
I hate sprawl and am ashamed I worked my way thru university building interstate highways. Hey, it was an honest buck and a large one too.
