The US couldn't have grown the way that it did for decades without suburban development and suburban markets. The problem is that we've taken the policy to too much of an extreme. The same educational, racial, economic, and transportation policies that pushed people out into the 'burbs are still hurting vibrant cities, and most areas in the US never really had development policies, they just let development happen, which has caused the sprawl that we see throughout the Northeast.Today, we need to price in the cost of driving around on highways through tolls, we need to fund transit way more, and we need to limit any more suburban development in favor of densification of urban areas, along with the transit and infrastructure to support urban populations. |
