But cities used to be affordable, and with lighter building regulations, they built fast and densified very quickly.
Why did that end? What brought about 'the Great Downzoning'?
Samuel Hughes evaluates the theories in a great new piece for Works in Progress.

The Great Downzoning - Works in Progress Magazine
It was once legal to build almost anything, anywhere. Then, in the space of a few decades, nearly every city in the West banned densification.

Novels' sentences are much shorter than they used to be.
Part of this is about punctuation: we use periods as people used to use semi-colons. And shorter sentences aren't necessarily simpler to read, since jargon can condense complicated ideas.

Let’s start with your first clue: survivors rarely get smallpox again. But you don’t know why. The only technology available is variolation – infect your child with a controlled dose of smallpox, but risk a 1-in-50 chance they die from the procedure.
Imagine you lived in the 18th century.
Smallpox kills 1 in 3 cases. Yet you can’t culture pathogens, don’t know germ theory, and have no idea what a virus is. How would you invent a vaccine?
In a new episode of HARD DRUGS, we trace the history of vaccines!
