The “we are not the same” meme template, but here it says, “You want dense, walkable, transit-oriented cities because you love the vibrancy and convenience of urban life. I want dense, walkable, transit-oriented cities because I don’t want endless suburbs to encroach on the peace and tranquility of rural life. We are natural allies.”

    Also I would argue a lot of things people hate about cities and drive them to live in the country or exurbs are caused by an over abundance of cars.

    Now add urban greening to the mix and that’s quite a spicy brew. I think a lot of people who prefer rural or exurban living today would be tempted by properly built cities.

      Definitely. Cities aren’t loud; cars are loud. I’m convinced if some eccentric person built an entire car-free, transit-oriented city from the ground up, the vast majority of people would absolutely love living there. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love a nice car-free street in the middle of a city.
