    Indeed, and currently there exist several cities that execute that ideal more-or-less. NYC is the obvious one, but Washington DC, Chicago, hell even the worst city in America, San Francisco does it adequately. The only reason we can’t have that kind of public transit everywhere is because no one is forcing city officials to plan for the long-term, and reduce sprawl.

    Zero Growth Lines are a great way to mandate density, without any other policies needed.

      @PowerCrazy I think even those examples are more on the less side, they aren’t continuing to grow that way. But they are good places to live because of how close to those ideals they still are.
