I’m glad you responded. I’ve been reading their articles for years, and the takeaway is always - all sprawl is bad, we must consolidate on row houses or other higher density designs to reduce the cost per linear foot of road to service these suburban layouts. Well, maybe people prefer their space, and in the last 10 years, my house has increased in value by $500k. Possibly we could tax suburban properties differently based upon their marginal infrastructure costs? Nope, have to outlaw it and rip it down otherwise it’s going to degrade into blight.

Some of their proposals are intriguing, but their dismissal of alternate funding methods for suburban living seems shortsighted.
