A place to talk about New York on Farcaster

America needs better urbanism: walkable cities, high-speed rail connection, density, and ornamental architectural styles for both public buildings and residences. So much of the endemic problems of American society stem from the loneliness, lack of community, environmental harm and economic stress of maintaining a sprawling car-centric physical environment. 

America with more density and walkable streets could be a utopia in my opinion: Think about how much people love living in college towns where the basics of life are all walkable. Imagine if much of the county could be that human-sized? At the very least highway should not be built right down the middle of cities so that the cities we have today can redevelop in a manner that lets them thrive and makes them a safe and enjoyable place to live, including with children and families.

Tackled city by city it can happen in time. Over 50 years maybe. Minneapolis has been working towards the goal of being more walkable.
