How does this do anything other than make tax payers on the hook for a incentives that do nothing to solve the problem?
Studies have proven that we are past the point of adding more interstate lanes and loops to even help. So why go that route?
It takes too long to build. Population grows plus anytime something is improved (supply) demand increases.
I am not saying I have all the answers but to say building loops and roads will save us is silly. We are too far behind at this point. Those things should have been done years ago when population was not growing so fast.

That sounds like an over-sweeping generalization.

Why light money on fire? In essence, that's what your plan does.

You're ignoring that if the demand increases in one area, it decreases from others.

Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living?

No, studies have shown that cities on the scale of Dallas with its infrastructure already in place may be at a point of diminishing returns. Acting like what Dallas' experience is means that we shouldn't add a lane to I-10 to make it two lanes is foolish.
