Well if you want to live in the suburbs then you can, but the people downtown should be paying for it (this is how it works). We should be working on missing middle housing (that way people have choice other then high rise downtown or suburban McMansion). No one is saying to just bulldoze the suburbs, it will take time and people know this. We shouldn’t be building more sprawl. You really need to look up what urbanism really is. Sounds like you are getting some bad info about it.
