What a ridiculous take. Walkable districts are a good thing, and instead of building more, you want to ban them?

- Tade0 4y agoI said I want to ban density over a certain number. Or specifically: leave space for modes of personal transportation other than walking or cycling. Such cities can still be walkable - I grew up in one so I should know. But I also lived on the outskirts of a very dense (due to historic architecture) city and would never want to move any further inward, because that place was hell. Bottom line is density is a bad target. Livability is a good one and density doesn't equal livability. Actually, my whole point is that there exists a level of population density which is actually worse than detached housing.
