[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“disadvantages” of living in the suburbs? When in reality, they’re precisely the reasons that people CHOOSE to live in the suburbs? I for one, LIKE that my neighborhood has streets you can’t drive through, lacks sidewalks, lacks public transit, has big yards and is mostly houses with few commercial establishments. I don’t want to be able to walk to a bar or 7-eleven, and I don’t want anyone walking from those places to walk through my neighborhood. [/quote] There isn't an unlimited amount of new land to plung 1/3 acre lot McMansions on. There isn't an unlimited amount of road capacity to continue to develop auto-centric exurban communities. The bottom line is the housing and transportation policy of the 20th century is a failure. It is time for something else. So it isn't YIMBY planners, but educated people learning from past mistakes.[/quote]
