got reading this after watching "a beautiful mind" and then reading up on John Nash's game theory work.
any way...
short version:
in some cases, adding an extra road to a congested area can actually increase travel time.
conversely, closing routes can decrease travel times.
extend the maths to sheds, and it boils down to this:
the more sheds you have, the less space you have.
if you want space to work, you have to get rid of sheds, not build more.
I call this the "@spencer 427 corollary"
