Hilarious part to me is that the house in the upper left corner of the Springfield pic is about the same size as the ones in the Tokyo pic. Could fit 25 such houses on that vacant lot easily, but have an American design it and you'd only fit about 6

I mean damn just look at the difference in road widths--granted Boston Road is a major arterial, but there's still the parking lot access road etc...

Remember that we have a huge housing problem in our major cities, prices sky-high w very little development...allowing development with narrower roads and smaller setbacks could put tons of new units on the market

Remember, ppl don't usually stay forever in the first house they buy! How many more would be able to start down the road of homeownership if we built like this? Crazy to make people wait for their own roof over their head until they can pay for the yard at the same time...

Briefly--I like the motivations behind New Urbanism but find that it's not usually any good at producing what it sets out to imitate

Springfield.... where? SP Missouri even less populated. Large urban areas in the US have sprawl due to common modes of transportation. (Autos) Rural is more so. It's not an easy thing to recommend higher urban density when I see lots of rural communities drying up and dieing.
-
Springfield MA--and yes, advice on managing higher densities without ruining comfort or affordability is directed mainly at those American cities which are dealing with housing crunches due to growing populations

High rural density is nice too, but it's not something we're in particularly dire need ofpic.twitter.com/BkFtF3eMtd
