It's the law of unintended consequences.
When the interstate highway system was developed people found that they could live in the suburbs and get to work in no time. Well, we now know how that worked out. If new roads were created, it would just encourage more people to move here because they could get around fast. But, after while, we would have gridlock.
The easier you make it for people to get around, more people will take advantage of it and the cycle starts all over again.
