Many American cities are close together. If you count the suburbs where
commuters live, New York and Philadelphia almost touch. Ditto New York
and Boston. But that's beside the point. Part of the American psyche
depends heavily on mobility and freedom of movement. Before we solve
the problem of how to live closer to the things we need and want, we
will undoubtedly solve the problem of how to travel at a reasonable
cost. The same can probably be said for Canadians. What's more, today's
crude prices are partly the result of investor speculation. As the
global situation changes, they could fall through the bottom once
again. A six month spike in prices does not necessarily a crisis make.

Lets attempt to come up with realistic ideas.
Over here the expansion of cities is making that a reality.
