Note that Columbia is a "planned community".  It's that way because it
was designed that way.

Problem with a "planned community" is getting people and businesses to
move in.  One way is to design it like a fish trap -- easy to get into,
hard to get out of.  Idea is that people will come in, get stuck, and
move in.

Reston is the same way.  I think it works.
