Transit expert Jarrett Walker has written “land use and transportation are the same thing described in different languages.” I have written that “ the single biggest factor in the carbon footprint of our cities isn't the amount of insulation in our walls, it's the zoning.” We have to face this.
Nice piece. Re. direct energy expenditure, the RECS data is helpful but doesn't correct for size, location, etc. I co-authored a piece in the Journal of Sustainable Economics that does those corrections -- and the result is even stronger. Just FYI: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10835547.2016.12091885
