Cars and Conservation argues cars save land resources
The Tax Institute of America contends that automobiles and highways use markedly less land than horses and mules did. Pre 1920 horse feed occupied about five percent of U.S. land. by 1957 harvested land use dropped to 2.4 percent. Modern road layouts also waste less land, with auto oriented subdivisions using about 20 percent for streets and arteries versus 35 to 40 percent in traditional grids.
