As one of your sibling comments points out, it's only this way because of the prevalence of cars. If we didn't place so much emphasis on making it easy to drive everywhere, we'd see far more housing and offices adjacent to transit hubs.
- Noos 6y agoexcept that a lot of business isn't in an office. You will never make a meat packing plant, distribution center, mushroom farm, or many other types of work fit in a walkable city. A lot of this is really knowledge worker privilege for people who can exist in dense zoning. A tremendous amount of businesses simply cannot be built close to housing.
- rtlfe 6y agoThe existence of things that don't work well in high density isn't a good argument against density.
