A lot of your fellow residents are pretty naive about th problm. I hope that you and other carfree/carlight people are trying to educate them about the absurdity of making more roads to solve the congestion problem. More roads inevitably leads to more driving and more cars, and very quickly you are worse off than you were in the first place.
