Did you think people wanted to bulldoze suburbs and not replace them with anything? What did you think was meant by dismantle? I always assumed it meant dismantling the rules that prevent the very natural market-driven densification process.
Suburbs as they exist in the US do not exist because they are the best X for any X that exists; but because of top-down central planning. Remove those rules, and the apartments all but build themselves.
- stickfigure 3y agoI don't think anyone wants their house bulldozed, and the way you phrase it is kind of horrifying. Sure, let's dismantle zoning regimes and let development happen organically. Suburbs may get a few more services but this isn't going to magically make the need for cars disappear.
