You're advocating for addressing the need for housing in the form of sprawl. Communities need to build, but that's the wrong direction to build in.
- Gibbon1 11y agoThe problem with low density housing is you then need to drive a long way to get to someplace that isn't just more tract-housing. I saw this a few years ago, what's interesting is the high variation in density, from 4 units per acre to over 300. A density variation of 75 to 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUvR9QNAzvc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUvR9QNAzvc
- pascalxus 11y agoYes, but having slight density, where single family houses are 10 feet apart does not create the environment your talking about. For that, you need 5+ story buildings and you need to build the city in a way that supports walkability - which is not how 99% of america is built. We do want some Densely populated city areas that allow for walkable neighborhoods. But,If we're going to have non-walkable suburbs we should definately have some space around our houses and not crowd them up together when there's space in every direction you look.
