We don’t need more sprawl, we need to build up.
Low density zoning is what got us to this mess, in addition to designing literally everything around cars. I can’t go anywhere worthwhile in my town without having to get on the highway.
What do they call them now, 15 minute cities? Do that. Build up and provide services within a small, walkable zone.
And not just build up: also allow businesses in the ground floor and basements. A residential-only neighborhood where you can’t do basic stuff like buying groceries, bringing your kids to the nursery, or going to a cafe/restaurant isn’t a great place to live without a car either.
