    I didn’t know that when highways were built land was deleted so everyone could live closer together. I mean if we can delete it once, why not for the second time amirite?

      The only way for there never to be long trips in a country that spans the width of an entire continent would be to condense every one into a much smaller area. So you either abandon land in 2/3rds of the country, or you figure out how to magically drop away the land in between large metro areas.
