>>2005206>>2005207I don't get why people are against dense urban housing. People who are against building like this seem to think that walkable city means dystopia surrounded by high-rise buildings and no greenery.
This is a random neighborhood I zoomed in on in Italy. This shitty little Italian street looks and feels 1,000,000x more comfortable and makes more intuitive sense than any street in America. And it is not really that dense or claustrophobic. It's just 2-3 story mixed use buildings.
It makes it so if you need bread or something simple you don't have to get in your car and drive 5 miles. You can just walk a block down the street. In America, I have to drive an hour and a half just to go to the gym.
If you don't like it, nobody is stopping you from living in the countryside.
