During WW II, Londoners who lost their homes slept where they worked. The U.S. hasn't even gotten serious about Car Pooling, for heaven's sake! With a good ID card system, it is safe and effective for any car to work as a jitney taxi wherever it goes. Rezoning and using bicycles are obvious ways to restructure. Now, there are even electric bikes to make the transition easy. Interestingly, it takes about ten calories of oil to produce one calorie of food, so bikes are best powered on local, organic food, with electricity coming out ahead of "fast" food.
