too bad New Urbanism doesn't include the wonders of bicycles in the fix of sprawl. Bikes are the most efficent form of transportation and can increase the distance covered by a pedestrian by miles! Come on New Urbanists, it is time to embrace bicycles too.

"Through the postwar decades Americans happily allowed their cities and towns to be destroyed. They tore down half the old buildings downtown and paved them over for parking lots, passed zoning laws that forbade corner grocery stores in residential neighborhoods and set rules that required businesses to locate on a 1-acre lot until things became so spread out you had to drive everywhere." James Kunstler, "The geography of nowhere: the rise and decline of America's man-made landscape." 1994

The greatest threat is government control!
Let the road users bear their cost of congestions due to urban sprawl. Let the private build their transport system in the urban core. That's it.

There is downtown and then there is downtown - alot of suburban neighbourhoods would benefit from a mini business/mixed use area (midrise, maybe 3 or 4:1 FSR) with an FSR stepping down to rowhouses and then finally houses in concentric distances away - infill and proper sidewalks, treed boulevards etc. Not so much for night clubs but for a supermarket, some medical services, smaller offices, apartments above. Sort and old-style 1900s "downtown"
