    When focussing on housing people seem to forget the proper mix of living, shopping, working, recreation, public transport.

    Denser housing is nice if you have all your primary living needs nearby.

      Rowhouse blocks with a comprehensive network of bike trails and bike lanes, with corner lots dedicated to ground level commercial, and every couple blocks you take the block of grid out and put a park in, with a metro station within a mile, attached to the bike network.

          Note they don't all need to be convenience stores and restaraunts. Put in small grocers, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, tool and regular libraries, schools. If you make the corner plots big enough I can put apartments on top rather than another house.

          I've been told that such stores are imaginary if they exist outside the bounds of gentrified New York. They are solely within those bounds, and we call them bodegas.

        This is not enough park. It should be hard to tell where the bike/foot paths end and the parks/managed foodscapes begin
