Low density is a reason to invest in public transportation, not a reason to divest from public transportation. To wit: most of Queens was farmland when the subway transit was built.
Good public transportation, along with solid city centers, begets population density (and economies of scale).
Poorly planned public transportation lingers as an afterthought; a mistake; a rallying cry that public transportation does not work in low-density areas.
- wilfra 14y agoIt's not farmland low-density, it's just not manhattan. And I don't know that they want it to become more dense than it already is. Northern California likes its trees, low-rise buildings and greenbelts. I don't think anybody wants to see a concrete jungle from Santa Rosa to Gilroy, like happened in LA.
