It's cars and large houses peripherally connected to amenities by car-only infrastructure.
People love this lifestyle and will fight you very energetically if you try to do anything to nudge city layouts towards the previous level of walkability.

- tonetegeatinst 2y agoWhile the biking/walkable city is a nice concept, it ignores how it is incompatible with certain lifestyles and hobbies. Anyone into machining, high powered rocketry, or shooting or hunting. YMMV but I doubt you could have a magazine and pass inspection from the BATFE or your state inspection for fireworks or explosives. And dense living near a gun range is impossible unless you got money to build a long range that can catch any stray rounds, when done in a rural area this is done using natural land and hills or building dirt mounds, which a walkable city would not have.

- magicpin 2y agoYou’re saying this as an either or. Why does everyone need to live a rural area with access to a gun range? Vice versa just because we build more walkable infrastructure doesn’t mean literally everyone everywhere is suddenly walking 15 minutes to work.
- kiba 2y agoMost people doesn't live in such rural area anyway. Machining can be done at a makerspace or you could rent space for your workshop.
