NYC averages a population of 1400 people per city block with mixed use development. Pictured above in Houston they fit 126 cars per city block sized parking lot.
Yeah that’s really what I’m talking about. Infrastructure is nearby but how accessible is it to just dig up the parking lot and do the electric and water/sewage hookups.
Redevelopment would need to be in lockstep with public transport like buses, trams and light rail.
It’s no use to have public transport If there is nowhere to go.
