  1. 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!

  2.  @mardiffv.8775  Not as stretched as other urban areas in the US. It is the 5th densest in the nation. It is mainly the layout of land uses and roadways. The main problem is that the places of shopping, dining, hangout, and working are not so compatible with residences.

  6.  @TheSpecialJ11  Because the inner areas are too crime/homeless ridden, noisy, and/or expensive. Demographics is also another factor.

  7.  @Nebs1  You can design areas with detached homes being dominant while the other non residential areas are close, walkable and transit friendly.

  8.  James Davis  Not really true... Most detached homes are quite close together. It is really the lending and land use standards and codes that are the problem.

  9.  @yvrelna  But we must still make detached housing as the dominant form of housing choice.

  10.  James Davis  Density is not the only factor when it comes to transit use. Boston is far less dense that the Las Vegas urban area yet transit use is much greater in Boston.

  11.  @mardiffv.8775  You can also provide areas with detached housing without the need for car ownership.

  12.  @drdewott9154  Best thing to do is to hide them.

  13.  @ericolens3  Plan and lay them out differently and more hidden.

  14.  @tudorjason  Mainly due to codes on parking and building setback.

  15.  @mardiffv.8775  Only for rich? Many folks in all income levels have them.
