Infrastructure is screwed up in many of these areas. Some suburban residents grow increasingly exasperated about the time spent trapped in their cars. Even on Saturdays it's getting impossible to go anywhere. Malls and office parks in congested areas feel the pinch. Regions that ignore the need to provide alternatives to the automobile will become increasingly troubled, especially in their suburbs.
Streets are narrow, and friendly to pedestrians as well as bicycle riders.
Sidewalks predominate over driveways. Studies show that people are willing to pay more for TND homes, and developers are beginning to take notice. And for the first time they're beginning to consider alternatives. They want proximity to work, proximity to the demands of life and to the things they want to do. They want convenience.
