Why it is so hard to conceptualize building a *new* city that *doesn’t* sprawl? Just build a city with row houses, parks and shops in walking distance from the housing! The entirety of the world is built like this – why does this failure seem to be a uniquely American phenomenon?
Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
