About to write an essay on question below. Just wanted to gain any useful facts, brainstorming ideas before I start:



Examine how gov't polices favorable to automobile ownership and use has changed the landscape of America. How has it impacted the way Americans live? What are the hidden costs of these policies? What are the benefits? Should we change?



Thanks so much!





P.S. My essay is due tomorrow by noon EST, so if you could respond sooner than later that would be great!How has automobile ownership and use changed America?By far the biggest government intervention into the auto industry was the Interstate Highway Act of the 50s. That is the single most important factor in our automotive history.
