That’s not geometrically possible for metros beyond a size threshold we’ve long surpassed. There are diminishing/negative returns to road expansion and a finite supply of land within natural barriers.
It’s relatively straightforward to alleviate transit crowding, and to sound-isolate apartments, with money. But no practical amount of road expansion fixes congestion, and we’re not likely to remove the mountains or fill in the Bay for more tract housing.
