In an ideal world, housing wouldn't be built immediately on major transit lines, but a (walkable) short distance away. Alas, city planners seem dead-set that new construction must _only_ happen within a block of major roads or train lines. There seems to be a lot of urban malpractice that prevents us from making good choices.
- nerdbert 3y agoIn an ideal world, housing is built directly above transit stations, so people can get on the train without even having to go outdoors, leaving it the most obvious choice for almost all journeys. Look at what they've achieved with this in Hong Kong. Plus the lines and stations basically pay for themselves due to revenues from residential property.
