What if we took a 160 acre golf course and repurposed it for housing and saved 95% of all the trees? Now you have 40,000 people living on two future light rail stops with a wonderful tree-lined dense walkable neighborhood

Replying to @pushtheneedlePublic transit is never going to replace cars. Nor are cycles. Progressives in SD have a strange obsession with forcing people out of their cars and onto the trolley and bus. But it’s not feasible and it’s never going to happen. Stop trying to force lifestyle change - undefeated. works every time. nobody ever wants to go back. ever.Closing off Boise’s 8th street to vehicle’s has made it one of the busiest and most beloved streets in the city, cars aren’t the future
Trains are incredibly absurdly obsolete technology.- its incredible how many US cities looked like manhattan/brooklyn before we knocked them over for highways not that long agoReplying to @the_culturist_This happened all across America. This is Cincinnati, where 25,000 people were displaced to build an interstate and surrounding parking lots.
- san francisco is 46 square miles and has 398,000 homes. paris france is 40 square miles and has 1,390,0000 homes its not only serious, its flat out possible
- have you ever wondered how much of Copenhagen could fit in your grocery store's parking lot? i have.
