The funny thing is mixed-use zoning and density have becoming increasingly allowed basically everywhere in the US ... except for SF.
Here in NYC a lot of the NIMBY voice has been silenced by "look, they tried your policies, and it failed. Let's try these instead."
- hx87 10y agoThere's this weirdly common idea that density = skyscrapers, which ignores the fact that a community of 5-story walkups can easily support 70,000+ people per square mile.
