    It’s the other way around. Cities in US are expensive now because there is not a lot of those compared to the amount of people who would like to live in them. If you allow builders to build more walkable cities they will become more affordable. And the scale is only part of it, the fact that city brings revenue to the government and suburbia isn’t is a big part too.

      I agree that we need to keep going on walkable cities. I just don’t think we’re going to see the investment in small business we need until we properly regulate corporations.
