There's no way around it: If you oppose density, you are comfortable accepting racial & economic #segregation. If you oppose density, you are comfortable accepting ongoing greenfield sprawl. The trade offs are clear & undeniable.

The last time I rode a bike on this street it was choked with traffic and my wife ended up docking her bike and walking. – at Baltimore, MD
Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last.
Just a few years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic.
This is new. This is leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.
