Right now the US is an east coast megalopolis and a west coast megalopolis with the middle of the country being, effectively, a void of nothingness.<br/><br/>What&#39;s the incentive? It&#39;d take a Google-sized company to build a new HQ and a new major metropolitan area over the course of 20-30 years. Unlikely to happen because the tech talent is largely on the coasts. 2025-10-12T23:58:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszxdnaf2zwm8e609e3a0zj4qs022hh5yhdd074yd08dp64ux9d09qzypnkyj9qrdltpkw94wtv2kc8y5gz523jxh3m6smjkf0hrgkwry0xqkhm8j2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr2fvnhf5fyc45m7sq52yul5v6cp4p9wh807l3yj2xmpcstfsj09s5hr7wl'>nevent1q…r7wl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Where do you live? I live in the #Boston area. Organic growth over design. So densely populated, there&#39;s nowhere to build. No new roads, no new high speed rail, yet plenty of high rises and skyscrapers. It is a *highly* desired section of the country and people keep moving in.<br/><br/>I agree proper urban design matters, including universal design principles. But do you have examples where this is happening? Because it&#39;s *definitely* not in the northeast.<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nn6v2tgrrd6dr5uhqd3q9zq2v8vk8c6wpr9hav8kjndqhde39pfq02tjqw" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Ashwin Dixit</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nn6…tjqw</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub15pzz3rxw8f0rqva48z7y8vkqhnjexf9wx26rc50mttq5ll3200gsz4jthu" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Audubon Ballroon (he/him)</span> (<span class="italic">npub15pz…jthu</span>)</a></span> 2025-10-12T23:49:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2jg6qm8wkwl9my93aux45fynsjxrpdy35l64xr4wpxtslyd7z6xszypnkyj9qrdltpkw94wtv2kc8y5gz523jxh3m6smjkf0hrgkwry0xqhszgac In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx4xqaj40llyqqydqkcfz6yzk6q7rywm3fscmjcpl39a6r6ugqk2g5w0jrw'>nevent1q…0jrw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s not that cities are bad and suburbs are good, it&#39;s poor urban design. As a parent of a child who is fully disabled and uses a wheelchair, navigating the outside world SUCKS. Supporting people with mobility differences is an afterthought, if at all. Scalable systems-based solutions based on universal design are what&#39;s needed. Solutions proposed in this thread, like ending cars and cities are unrealistic and just as ableist. 2025-10-05T16:05:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyy7j7lmty0slw5j2kkhzyh3075pyyt72qtp4366fktdf8a90kltgzypnkyj9qrdltpkw94wtv2kc8y5gz523jxh3m6smjkf0hrgkwry0xqd29et7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg8pjzkuxl8p8kprf2wvhzqxxuqhft97ths0um3fver0ct9zwj54gzhq397'>nevent1q…q397</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Why/how is population density the problem?

Standing for nothing, only the most extreme views are the ones to &#34;survive.&#34; Anything that is remotely close to being rational is immediately silenced.
