  1. Answer: Single Use Zoning, Traffic feeding into large collector roads/boulevards, and lack of efficient mass transit thanks to the streetcar scandal

  2.  @stueyphone  Because of codes, loans and lobbyists

  3. Parking lots are the most ugliest eye shore ever! Nothing else has RUINED cities and architecture more than ever! Worst of all they are mandated! We must avoid the policies of Sprawl and Smart Growth!
    275
  4. Dump the policies of Smart Growth and Car Dependent land use segregated Sprawl! We need TRUE alternatives!

  5. Why not order on the phone, park on the side of the street, and then pick it up? Drive-thrus make sense in remote highway stops. I live 50 ft by ChickfilA in Las Vegas

  6. Trav in the Box I did deliveries today there and got frustrated with the gates!

  7. Parks can be good buffer/transition zone away from industry, freeway interchanges, and other less attractive areas. The issue is that they cannot be as common in dry areas like here in Las Vegas. The harsh truth is that many parks here are actually common HOA area since city and counties (we hardly have compact cities) do not want to pay for them.

  8. Hard to find a neighborhood here in Las Vegas without an HOA. Main reason: No city government with less than 100,000 people. They want to transfer their responsibilities to another agency.

  9. It depends on the type of high speed transit, station location and urban planning of area including land use and building layout.
    25
  10. We need more public spaces
    18
  11. This video doesn’t mention how self driving cars which reduces car ownership can battery swap fast. Gas stations in the urban areas will be converted. Stations usually reduce desirability and create NIMBYs. The rural areas will likely go abandoned.
    13
  12. Do a video exposing Sprawl defenders like Randal O’Toole and Wendell Cox
    11
  13. Three things that suck about America: 1. urban planning 2. Financial system/corporatism 3. Dating/relationships/family

  14. Simple: So much was built after the 1920s and other cities nearby took action. I really wish so much of our cultural norms, architecture, style, gender quality did not chance much since then.

  15. At least you get cell data and know where you are at

  16.  @cmdrls212  So your point is the we shouldn’t have walkable neighborhoods even though 8 months are okay?

  17. How about the best place to meet quality gorgeous women?

  18. Got this while commuting in Vegas! Wall Street screwed it up.
    8
  19. Boycott and DUMP Smart Growth and Sprawl
    7
  20. Forgot to mention Steve Wynn on how he took Vegas out of the 80s glut due to Atlantic City and Laughlin competition with the Mirage
    7
  21. Las Vegas Metro can grow to 7 million! Hopefully without the policies of sprawl and smart growth

  22. The light rails are phony alternatives to keep the status quo
    6
  23. But NOT through Smart Growth/New Urbanism. Try different strategies.

  24.  @tylermc11795  But there still could have been other types of transport that could have replaced it
    5
  25.  @pederpersenfostvedt2900  It was actually both. Transit could have innovated to compete as well. Population density does play a role but land use layout and street design are more important. Housing subdivisions, strip malls, collector roads aren’t helping even if all of the housing was attached.
    5
  26.  @Ledpooplin55  not necessarily true. Codes and regulations
    5
  27.  @cmdrls212  healthy? Convenient
    5
  28.  @andrewthomas5458  Because there is not enough of it
    5
  29.  @lohphat  You know there was a lawsuit regarding this matter
    4
  30.  @roteschwert  Partially. It was also zoning laws, new codes, FHA and Wall Street lending standards, White flight, and Interstate Highway System. The issue isn’t low density. It is layout of streets, buildings and traffic flow
    4
  31.  @kansasthunderman1  But car dependent sprawl which is subsidized and coded isn’t also better either
    4
  32. Jabid21 Explain asians then

  33. Yes absolutely, the highways, car dependency, sprawl was largely done by corporate corruption and government intervention. So basically we did get screwed. HOWEVER, Smart Growth/New Urbanism along with the high density projects, light rail, regional agencies is another flawed rip off system! AVOID BOTH!! See my Youtube channel about the Cyrus Planning movement and support REAL TRUE mass transit projects!

  34.  @donnerwetter1905  If transit is actually much faster than cars and even planes, many will take them. The real problem isn’t density. It’s traffic flow, land use and building layout. You can still have pretty high density and still be very car dependent

  35. Roundabouts? Carmel, IN successfully made their streets and planning more traditional with it.
    4
  36.  @pbcash7788  some are too lazy to get out. Hence the obesity rate
    4
  37. And what the Smart Growth sustainable crowd won’t tell us you is that current transit projects we have are designed to keep the status quo going.

  38. In Las Vegas, only the tourist area malls are doing well. It seems that it’s dominated by either upscale or discount outlets.

  39. Crime fell due to gentrification and changing demographics. Many left for the high desert.

  40.  @watchinginaz  Exactly! Phoenix Area thrives on other places being too flawed and/or expensive.

  41. I don't think we plenty of R1 zoning here in Las Vegas. Most of the single family detached residential are in tiny lots! This makes our population density comparable to NY Urban Area. The worst part is that we are not easy walking access to retail and other amenities.

  42. With roundabouts, you need fewer lanes.
    3
  43. How about building new car free cities out of scratch?
    3
  44.  @Tzar1  cheaper than the status quo
    3
  45. Yup. These urbanism commentators are so emasculating
    3
  46. Time to admit that the Democrat run states (except a few) aren’t managing their states well. They used to do better decades ago by taxing large corporations, reducing income inequality and preventing corporate oligarchs. Now they are going after the average person with taxes and rules to benefit public employees and SJW Woke agendas.

  47.  @Northstar1989  I largely agree. However so many people attack transit but yet fail to see the mass subsidies and regulations for car travel. However mass transit needs to be cheaper and faster to get the masses out of the roads and highways. It can't be second hand.

  48. Population growth has slowed.

  49. To reduce future growth, change the immigration law! Also avoid Smart Growth and Sprawl strategies!!

  50. Costs?
