  I suppose, but then it isn’t really any different than what we have now in the best of our cities worldwide. Unfortunately, it seems very few cities actually have the resources and the political capital to make that work.

    Yeah. But until we deal with the affordability problem walkable cities aren’t going to be a thing because it will be too expensive.

      It’s the other way around. Cities are expensive now because there is not a lot of those compared to the amount of people who would like to live in them. If you allow builders to build more walkable cities they will become more affordable

        I agree that we need to keep going on reasonable cities. I just don’t think we’re going to see the investment in small business we need until we properly regulate corporations.
