We go to extremes in this country – from the cul-de-sac to the skyscraper. Since Chicago was mentioned and I’m from Chicago, I wanted to reply by stating there is a crazy amount of opposition to densification in the nicer neighborhoods. That may or may not have merit, but the real question is how to make the depopulated neighborhoods on the south and west sides more desirable again. If indeed there is a shortage of nice walkable places to live in America, then we need to keep restoring more of those places, rather than only densifying the nicest places.
