And yet, you dont take into account how many more schools and big box retailers will need to be built and how many more bodies will need to be stuffed into each 15 minute zone to make paying for that added infrastructure, without debt, feasible.
Go look at the megacities in fiction like Judge Dredd. Thats what you are advocating for. High crime, distopian, state above all else.
Kids in suburbia can usually access jobs - if their parents will let them. Unfortunately, the media has convinced everyone that not having your children in line of sight is bad.
No dumba ass I am not advocating for megacities those are terrible and are the result of sprawl. I'm talkikng about the return to small-town type development, walkable small neighborhoods like our forefathers built and the type of towns which made america great in the first place.
Not concrete jungles - real neighborhoods which are suitable places to call American towns.
"Walkable small town neighborhoods" are either urban hell holes or sprawl. Our forefathers didnt have that, they had a main street that everyone would horse and later drive into where they could walk around, but they lived away from main street. First in farms, then in suburban homes, then in urban high density housing. Housing was always located away from shopping and industry.
You are quite obviously thinking with rose tinted glasses.
You sound like someone who knows absolutely dick about urban planning or the patterns which underly and drive our built environment. Our forefathers knew what they were doing - they may not have called it 'walkable' or whatever it was just the way they built, and they learned it from their forefathers, who had been perfecting it since the dawn of time. Starting in WW2 we threw all that out the window and embraced the globohomo pattern of sprawl. We fucked ourselves big time.
Sprawl is not sustainable from a financial standpoint - IDGAF about the 'environment' I'm talking about creating a country worth caring about, and which is financially solvent. Right now we are paving our own road to hell (bankruptcy) with the way everything is built. Say what you want but the numbers don't crunch and we are in for a rude awakening.
So, how have I gotten it wrong? I explained in general detail how our forefathers operated. You pretend to be an authority, but instead demonstrat poor critical thinking skills backed by nothing but teenager level insults.
