Why do walkable city advocates so often use pictures of freeway interchanges in downtown LA or highway exit areas with hotels/restaurants for travelers as "proof" that suburbs are le bad?
The presence of single-family low-density housing out in the countryside doesn't preclude transit oriented cities, and the existence of suburbs didn't force you to bulldoze your downtown to put up an 8-lane highway.
Anyone who's anti-suburb and thinks everyone should live in dense urban centers for "transit efficiency" clearly can't comprehend why people might not enjoy living in the 10'x20' pod sharing walls with strangers.
