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

mixed use mixed use mixed use even if people are still commuting by car, you can make a lot of progress by locating key retail (groceries, pharmacies, etc) within walking distance

Agree completely, and the nice thing about this is that it requires almost no government intervention. Private developers can be wholly responsible for making a nicer city.
