Perhaps also single family zoning started to make its effects clear in the 80's.
Personally I'd prefer to live in a nice townhouse in a dense neighborhood but that's hard to pull off (location wise not many options, and price wise there's just not enough available to make the nice ones comparable to a single family house)
- kodah 4y agoI suspect a successful city depends on diverse housing availability. Having too much high and medium density brings its own issues, same with too much low density. There's probably also something to how those are arranged within a city. I always wanted to grab something with lots of trees in near-proximity to the city, but I don't want to live near the active hustle and bustle. That usually comes with other trade-offs like a lack of greenery.
