What's depressing about lists like these is that regions like Dallas, Orlando, and Houston are building massive numbers of relatively high-density communities through multi-family units—but only a small share of those units are oriented toward walkability and transit use. https://t.co/1me5XHjw4e

Point 1 we agree on, the failure is on a regional level to provide transit to support walkable urbanism. Point 2 is precisely an example of this problem, DART is expansive but only works as a hub & spoke so that its branches become further apart the further out you go 1/2
