You do realize that pedestrian (meaning a walking person) does not automatically translate to dense(r). Non?

Sustainability. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

We need to start building suburbs that can adapt to changing social and economic conditions in the decades and centuries to come, stop saddling the current taxpayer and future generations with ongoing maintenance and life-cycle costs, and stop freezing land uses and built forms into mid-20th-century ideas of what is desirable.
The burbs pay most taxes. Now, cut it out.
