I find Dallas horrifically laid out. Too many suburbs, too many big roads, waste of space. Pittsburgh and all the other cities that boomed during the 'great' periods of America have the same problem, which, notably, San Francisco and NYC have somewhat less of -- big roads for big cars, and big garages to take those cars home to.
The problem isn't sparseness or density, it's a combination of readily available fossil fuels and mindset, I believe.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoDallas proper has pretty good light rail which extends all the way to some of what used to be considered exurbs ( like McKinney ). There's the usual clusters of 3-7ish story condo blocks in spots, towards University, around Deep Ellum. Even in Plano, close to the tracks. If the position is simply to oppose cars altogether, then I don't know where you can go. But I suppose you can find a bus to take you there...
