The future is dense, walkable cities.

Once again, here is where to FIND those walkable neighborhoods:

suburbs will NOT depopulate ... sorry

They don't need to be depopulated, they need to be retrofitted.

Suburbs will devolve into slums, unable to maintain their crumbling auto infrastructure with their declining tax base.

Too expensive. Let them rot.

There's a lot of resources invested in those houses. The neighborhoods might be made walkable by infilling, inserting new homes between the existing ones, plus commercial space within walking distance, and by connecting them to light rail networks.

Most suburban houses are valuable only as teardowns. Replace them with little four-story condos and carve out a few lots for bodegas and microparks and you've got the beginnings of a livable space. This will happen organically on the fringes of existing walkable neighborhoods.

The distant suburbs will turn into scary gang enclaves.

Thank you for revealing yourself to be the soulless cunt we already knew you are.

Another peace and love, lunatic liberal, shows her true colors. Do it my way or die...How humanitarian.

Damn, MAGAts are ignorant fucks…

BSG basically advocated for letting the buildings that Wilson suggested should be “retrofitted” at some unspecified cost “rot”. (And retrofitting those buildings would still not address the core issue that BSG is attempting to address with this thread…)



Hope that ^ helps.



MAGAts



We. Told. Them. So.

But it IS lush topsoil -- grass will grow in the tiniest crack.

Them are weeds

We’ve subsidized sprawl long enough. If you want to live a country lifestyle do it on your own dime.

you are just envious and very jealous

Exurbs and country are not quite the same thing, despite developers' efforts to buid an imitation.

There is no sprawl, especially in California

Sprawl is anywhere non-rural where you cannot usefully leave your house without a car.
