We need to make it so that most neighborhoods are developed by homebuyers rather than large conglomerates. My 1920s streetcar suburb was platted by the original farmer/owner and then sold off in lots. Today, this would be illegal / cost-prohibitive. It also leads to nicer / more varied neighborhoods where people actually own their land. Instead of yet another branded neighborhood where everything looks the same and the HOA board thinks too highly of themselves

That's a pretty good formula for unsustainable sprawl.

Except.. that is not what happened when we actually did that. If anything, the neighborhoods are denser, and more walkable.
