[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fertility rates are below replacement level in  basically every western country and they are continuing to decline. Pretty much every country in the world (97% of them) will have below replacement level fertility rates by 2100. Global population is expected to start declining (as early as 2050s or 2060s) well before 2100. We need to be careful not to over correct on zoning reform or our descendants will be burdened with a bunch of infrastructure that is not economically viable to maintain.

Ironically its the SFH home suburb attached to a central city via a highway that is not economically viable. You should see just how expensive maintaining plumbing/electrical/sewerage/roads to low density suburbs actually is compared to the low taxable value of the land.

Densifying closer in land is much cheaper in the long run. Less total infrastructure and a stronger tax base. [/quote]

All of this, 100%

Look at all the blue areas in the middle of the heavy carbon red areas. Suburban development is the MOST wasteful in human history.
