    The buildings are the low density and all the space between. That’s the problem.

    • sprawling low density detached housing developments on at least 1/4 acre lots, each
    • single-story shopping strips/plazas with massive parking lots
    • werehouses and other 1/2 story commercial and industrial zones
    • sprawling office parks with 2 story buildings and big parking lots
    • the occasional undeveloped 100 acre lot or remnant of a working farm here and there
    • lots of wide roads, median strips, with massive setbacks (stroads) to connect all of the above
