Might not be relavant to the discussion, but social supporting structures like police and schools is infrastructure too, as in they're part of a foundation for a social system. What you refer to as infrastructure, I take it, is roads, water supply, electrical grid, etc., which are static structures, but they're not so different from a school, since both have a static and a dynamic element: the building and the operators. Hm, this rant got away from me. Just wanted to argue some terms.
- dfadsadsf 5y agoIt make sense when we talk infrastructure cost vs density to separate infrastructure that’s affected by density vs one that is not. Density does not affect school or police cost much. School buses probably cost a bit more in suburbs but it is not major factor.
- pas 5y agoThe fact that school buses are needed seems to be a sign that residential areas are not sufficiently dense for kids to walk to school. (I know that some cities use school buses to provide equal opportunity by randomly assigning kids to schools, which of course would continue to happen in high-density area too.)
