Doesn't this actually imply that it's the low density that is financially unsustainable, rather than the sidewalks? I mean if your settlement pattern can't even afford a place for people to walk, what the hell are you doing?
- octopoc 5y agoNo, this is a matter of different strokes for different folks. Many people have chosen to live in low density areas even though there are no sidewalks. They have chosen for themselves what to do with their limited resources. For people who choose to live in cities because there are sidewalks there, they are the ones making the tradeoff that you like.
- lordnacho 5y agoYes, I think the generous interpretation is that it isn't the sidewalk, but perhaps the sewage, water, electricity, comms, and maybe garbage collection that become expensive in less dense areas. All stuff that is related to the sidewalk, but not actually the sidewalk.
