The Great Canadian Towns and Villages Thread

[Nashe]

I think his video only obliquely mentions the real issue until the end:

1) NA cities didn't plan for efficient land use, because it didn't HAVE to
2) NA citizens (for multiple reasons), didn't WANT to, either.

I agree that it would be a massive undertaking (and nearly impossible) to convert most NA cities, given that demand is only growing slowly for the kind of walkable/bikeable/transit-based cities that he likes. I see attempts in my own city, but it's difficult because it's kinda hard to move buildings and remove car infrastructure when it's being actually used.
