>>1888262>Name one city where density is "outlawed" as you put itFucks sake dude do you really mind me simplifying a century of complex history of the American development pattern and its' policies for dramatic effect? Of course it's not "outlawed", it's heavily restricted and that's an understatement. Take a look at any zoning map and compare it to the rest of the developed world (not other Anglos). Our downtowns are fucking tiny.
Picrel is what Texans call "Multi-Family residential". Half of the orange lots look like that. Do you want me to believe the yellow around downtown hasn't been built up because there is no demand for it? Or that it's the market that decided that the "Multi-Family residential" housing just outside of downtown is, at-most, three story?
