Spread out here would really more refer to separate cities (with varying levels of urbanness) e.g. Austin, Denver, etc, since the densest cities don't really have room for more suburbanization. Is there a point where proximity a la SF turns into too much of a monoculture to still be as long-term beneficial?
(Those other cities, though, do have room to grow outward still, and so far keep going out; it will be interesting to see how long they can sustain that.)
- zip1234 6y agoThe inner suburbs should stop subsidizing it by not widening freeways. Right now outward expansion is highly subsidized by everyone paying for those roads and not just the people living 1hr away from the city center that are commuting.
- Ericson2314 6y agoNo cities in 2021 should be growing outward. Tracy, CA is an abomination, but so is the Sunset in SF. Broadway Junction in Brooklyn should be a second midtown. Building up Austin proper or building those up is equally good in my mind.
