Can't reply to the below post (max nesting perhaps?)
I agree with the solution of constructing additional cities to an extent, though I can't speak too much about the US (British here).
What bugs me is seeing endless expanses of land within reasonable commuting distance of places like London that just aren't being used. There really is no need for people to have to move hundreds and hundreds of miles from their families.
I'm not even concerned that much about employment here, because a cheap home on cheap land would free people to work far less and/or simply retire after a few years in the Big City.
