> Congestion should be fixed by removing buses, de-densifying city cores, and forcing companies to build offices in a distributed fashion.

Yes, let's solve congestion by forcing urban sprawl. Forget any efficiency gains by using denser infrastructure, just make everyone drive 10x as far so there's 10x as much road and therefore 1/10th the congestion!

We already do this. You just described the city of Houston. I've been there, it's ass. And the 14 lane Katy highway does it no favors.
