What are we gonna do, nuke all the suburbs and cram everyone into little pods?

    For example the minimum parking rules could be changed to allow buildings to not have parking

    Commercial buildings then could occupy their entire block, if they don't need all that space, more stuff fits in the city

    Zoning could change, allowing more commercial stuff in the suburbs, more homes in the city

    bro, capitalism is going to cram you into a pod no matter what we do with urban planning, because rich people control more and more of all the wealth and thus land. if anything breaking car dependence would make pods less likely because you could build real apartments in more places
