I’m surprised to see so much negativity from this board about the density. The expectation that developments need to be congestion-neutral, and that the cost of mitigating congestion needs to be borne by those developments, is myopic to the long-term determinants of congestion and unreasonable in the distribution of the costs of public goods.

Everyone is always—rightly—criticizing the suburban-style, car-centric development in the area, which is at least partly responsible for the terrible traffic. Why do we want whatever new development comes here to try and preserve that status quo?
