There’s little point putting in transit if dense development isn’t also allowed to follow. I concur though that it’s not too late.

Especially if you consider, car-centric development is bankrupting many smaller US cities. There’s a strong economic case for promoting dense, mid-rise, mixed-use development: it brings in much more in property taxes relative to the cost of city services required.

Simply put, every foot of road or pipe or power cable serves far more people (and economic activity) with dense development.
