Our entire region has to figure out how to rapidly add more people. We aren’t going to do that by widening highways and limiting every family to a single home. Huge parking lots in dense urban areas won’t keep our local amenities solvent like a vibrant neighborhood can.

We need more housing, and it shouldn’t all be stuffed alongside our busiest streets. Incremental changes to our zoning could unlock a huge amount of housing in healthier areas, and you’d barely notice it happening.
i don't know what it will take for planners to understand that noise pollution, air pollution, and unsafe streets are not the sorts of places we should be focusing dense and affordable housing
