For the most part, sprawl means those of us who are nondrivers (youth, disabled people, people aging out of driving) are stuck at home or reliant on favors from family and friends to meet our basic needs. This shouldn’t be our future.
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.
