    Good luck in debunking Strong Towns’ reams of empirical data regarding the municipal financial disaster caused by low density, relatively unproductive land uses, starting with this country’s massive over-provision of increasingly unaffordable urban roadway infrastructure. You’ll sorely need it.

    Weren’t you supposed to sit in your own little echo chamber and gaze upon your reflection in the mirror???

    Perhaps Antiplanner has overreached here. Wider lanes do not increase traffic capacity on local roads, and providing narrower lanes does not adversely impact on car driving – a 10′ lane is wide for a 6′ car. Many UK lanes are 10′ wide (or less), and the world is still spinning on its axis. The proposed road diets should not have adverse impacts upon capacity either, since a 2+2 lane road has too many cars using the offside lane to turn right – the TWTL lane replaces both lanes.

    As for transit, there are forms that work, and forms that don’t. So, the correct strategy is to figure out what meets the need of the customer base, and then provide it.

    In which journal might I find these “reams” of evidence?

    With a Louisiana accent, exactly how is his name pronounced?

    Yes. I admit this is ad hominen. But is struck me as funny.

    Markets do a wonderful job of figuring out the needs of the customer base, don’t you think?
