"I think there's a tendency to view the land [upon which our roads are built] as free - to not acknowledge that it might be put to better uses, like housing and shops and parks and other things that we care about... hopefully we care about [those things] more than asphalt; the whole point of the transformation should be to reevaluate how we allocate our urban space."
"The collective total of more than 22,000 square miles of roadway by 2016 represents about 21.7 percent of all land in U.S. cities and towns... If it were a country, it'd be around the size of Norway, greater than 68 percent of nations on earth."
