"Density requires a level of competence in governance ..."
And density requires a populace willing to suffer the indignities of such density too ... unless you were proposing that government should impose it regardless ... or that government can wave away those indignities.
- ska 11y agoIt's not like the alternatives lack indignities, though.
- tomohawk 11y agoNot proposing any such imposition. Just noting that if city governments were more competent, mass transit would not be an issue as cities would be a more desirable place to live and work as compared to the burbs. Whenever I see a new mass transit proposal put out by a nearby city, it seems that the major underlying reason is to have a public works project to steer money to vested interests rather than to provide useful transit.
