   Imagine someone saying something nice about Car2Go, Uber and Lyft.  Planners   
   as a group all push higher and higher density living as an ideal and use the   
   word "sprawl" alot, even when our population in the nation as a whole is   
   DE-sprawling and moving to fewer and fewer areas.  This is also happening in   
   the world as a whole, not that the human race is over 50% urbanized, which   
   happened about 1996.  It puzzles me how planners never mention the   
   long-distance role of trains moving things such as oil, but worry about the   
   expensive movement of passengers by rail.
