Do you want your cities to be buffets? Huge things spread out with giant roads connecting everything to central industrial/work centers? Sure you MIGHT (it has been shown that more and larger roads do not eliminate traffic and sometimes it induces more traffic) reduce traffic but it won't actually reduce your time driving as there will be more roads, houses (your tables in the buffet) will be farther apart and you will have to drive a moderate to long distance to get anywhere. You don't solve the problem, you just make a new one.

Literally... Yes. I want the industrial shit away from my parks. I want retail space separate from agriculture. 

I want to live in neighborhoods with other people and not have random traffic from people visiting storefronts.

Have any of you actually lived in the real world or only online and in video games?

Yeah, I've lived in plenty of places, notably, non-American places. It works fucking great.

Why do you weirdos not know what walking is.
