So if we don't widen roads because people might have to move then we get more accidents. Or the city can't grow. Or people sit in traffic for extra hours a day.

So if we don't widen roads because people might have to move then we get more accidents. Or the city can't grow. Or people sit in traffic for extra hours a day. People's needs need to be taken into account, yes, that is what it is all about in the end. But a few people's inconvenience or greed outweighing the general progress is not a long term formula for successful society.

That sounds like an awesome premise to a dystopian science fiction novel.

  The point is we already live in that dystopian future. But it isn't machines running things. It's people fighting over scraps. I firmly believe the machines will do better.
