Doesn't solve the problem. This approach contributes to urban sprawl, which is normally bad for the environment (people doing 2h car commutes is incredibly polluting, verses a shorter and commute or using public transport).

A good summary of the bad effects of urban sprawl is available on Wikipedia [1].
