This is just poor planning, no? I never said it's not possible to design cities badly. Look to Tokyo for an example of density and transit working really well

  True, but I think that more importantly it shows that it's not "easy", since cities that work well seem to be in the minority. Plus, I'd say European cities, in particular, aren't really "designed", seeing how they have to contend with historic centers they can't touch, etc. But I think that, more importantly, we should try to avoid having to be all in the same spot if it's not necessary. Yes, there are some advantages to scale, and some things are easier / cheaper to do when you have 1M people in the same space as opposed to spread far and wide. But this also produces other issues, such as stressed people because of all the noise (not just cars, but neighbors, etc.)
