Yeah, the rate of commuting nearly tripled in Chicago from 2000 to 20012.
Totally trivial change. It more than trippled in Portland. It almost
doubled in LA, more than doubled in Philly. It doubled (to over 4
percent) in Minneapolis.

I sugest reading the study (or better, the numbers) and not relying on
bad websites for summaries.
