The ‘law’ that explains why you can't get anything done
A British historian famously wrote that work expands to fill available time – but what was he actually saying about inefficiency?

Good news from Switserland: the Swiss people understand what #InducedDemand is !
Lewis Mumford explained us in 1955 that
"Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity."

He’s dangerously wrong most of the time these days, but here’s one time from 2022 when he was right. That’s why “better cars” will never be the real solution. They always lead to more driving. #JevonsParadox
Fewer cars, less driving, more choices, better cities.
Fewer cars, less driving, more choices, better cities.

“As self-driving companies pour billions of dollars into advancing their technology, it’s impossible to know how safe and energy-efficient their products could eventually become. But the #JevonsParadox… how much more driving will AVs induce — and will those added miles swamp any possible upside?”

Learned that making something more efficient does not always mean using less of it. When a resource becomes easier or cheaper to use, we often just use more. Progress doesn’t always lead to conservation — it often fuels even greater demand! #AI #JevonsParadox #TheCoalQuestion

Why “better vehicles” will never solve our congestion and pollution problems, and are (at most) part of the solution (remembering that they actually lead to more driving via #JevonsParadox). The more important part will always be fewer cars and less driving, fueled by better cities and more choices.
US drivers log 3.28 trillion miles in 2024, setting new record
Travel on U.S. roads in 2024 rose 1% to 3.28 trillion miles setting a new yearly record and topping pre-COVID 19 levels for the first time, the Transportation Department said Wednesday.
