San Francisco is a poor city ?

Zay you've come a long way. It's nice to see you making mature nuanced content with this thread.

As long as the car and subsidized suburbs with zoning remains, city will continue to sprawl. It’s unsustainable and they know it.

San Francisco is a cyberpunk dystopia.

The incentives will lead to more and more cities and developers doing this, and the people who don't want to live like that will have less and less options as time goes on.
A good amount of people want a house.
Not everyone wants to live stacked on top of each other
There are already options both lifestyles, no need to show favoritism to one side over the other.

Not necessarily. You still have people willingly living in the south in 2023.

@BrothaZay is proposing that we try to even out playing field because currently most cities heavily favor SFH building due to zoning laws that are impossible to change.

You can own a house and not live in sprawl conditions.

Please check Queens, NY, Washington DC, Northeast Philly, parts of Chicago.

endless sprawl is bad for the economy and environment and black people

There’s levels to it yes, but certain places in the US there are ppl living on top of each other. I’m from NJ we got like the top 5 most densely populated cities in the US. There’s no benefit to it I can see

Compared to some spots in East/South Asia...nah it's not comparable. I personally think some suburbs should be annexed into cities. The fact that we're so separated politically is, in part, because there's no (perceived) economic or political incentive for suburbs to support cities.
If that changed, you'd see tons of shyt change.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

you still haven’t listed any good reason or any real reason why one would think having a lot of traffic in a small area is a desirable thing.

It’s literally the worse thing for a city

You could make an argument that high density cities actually carry America, can you imagine the country relying on places like Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama or Missouri to be as productive as New York California or Texas
