[quote=Anonymous]The greater the pop. density the more transportation options need to be offered (bus, rail, taxi/uber, good walking paths/sidewalks, bike lanes). The increased density results in higher tax revenues and therefore more ability to fund these alternative options and spread the cost at a smaller share per taxed entity. A rural area (ex: Clark Co.), changes to a suburb (ex: Loudoun), changes to a set of town centers in a suburb (Ex: eastern Loudoun / western Fairfax), changes to a mini-city (ex: Tysons), changes to a city/exo-city (DC/Arlington/Alex/Bethesda/Silver Spring). The roads, but also the alt. forms of transportation also increase as this happens. "Smart" growth plans for this eventuality and leads the way, but not too far ahead (lest the budget collapses) and also throttles the rate of development to be manageable without "off-putting" those that can bring economic fortune to the jurisdiction.[/quote]
