"The real fix is politically unpopular."
If the real fix is politically unpopular, is it a real fix?
I mean, what people want should be accounted somehow, that's the point of a democracy, isn't it?
- naasking 9y ago> I mean, what people want should be accounted somehow, that's the point of a democracy, isn't it? What people want is often contradictory. They want affordable, nice housing near their work, but given most people work near other people, they don't want high density housing like condos. You can satisfy all of these demands simultaneously.
- amyjess 9y agoThe ideal solution would be to eliminate the concept of a central business district entirely and arrange businesses into office parks thoroughly dispersed among suburban sprawl.
- naasking 9y agoI might agree, but you still have the same density problems, and you now also have the problem of people commuting into residential areas with schools and such. I'm not sure, while the idea seems appealing at first glance, it seems fraught with problems.
- damnyou 9y agoThis is how Silicon Valley is organized, and it's terrible.
- RantyDave 9y agoThe real fix is to start behaving like a large city and put rail out to the suburbs.
