    Put a bus depot at the entrance, allow only bicycles inside each suburban loop or whatever.

    But in the bigger picture, convince people that they don’t want the suburban home. That’s a really hard sell after a few generations of idealizing the identical homes in huge blocks just outside the city.

    But once voters don’t want to live there, rezone it to allow denser living or put a factory there to chase out the remaining homeowners or completely level it and farm the land… Or allow businesses to set up within the neighborhood so that everything is within walking/biking distance?

      suburban homes are already impossible to afford for young people. what we have to do is sell an alternative that’s better and affordable and people will flock to it. something multifamily but where you have easy access to recreation/relaxation space, somewhere you can raise a family comfortably and where they kids likely have playmates close by unlike suburbullshit, modern amenities and good sound insulation between units. the edenicity guy has a compelling vision
