- babesh 6y agoWhat subsidies are you imagining and how is it unsustainable?
- ajmadesc 6y agoFederal Highway subsidies. Federal Mortgage & insurance rules. Tax structures. Federal building guidelines for FHA / HUD programs. Destroying dense mixed use black neighborhoods to build highway interchanges. Federally funded highways and interstates that enable suburban living to be convenient. The built environment of the United States was a choice. "Forced" through top down "market" incentives. Not to mention oil subsidies etc From American Conservative: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/urbs/we-have-always-subsidized-suburbia/ https://www.theamericanconservative.com/urbs/we-have-always-... https://marketurbanism.com/2017/09/05/subsidizing-suburbia-a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-government-created-suburbia/ https://marketurbanism.com/2017/09/05/subsidizing-suburbia-a...
