I agree Calgary needs to densify, but the thing is that super dense NYC is the middle of a gigantic metro. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/New_York_Metropolitan_Area_Counties_2013.png
A lot of cities get a bye with density because the lowest density portions are 'across the street' in a differently named municipality. |
Agreed. When you talk about NYC, you should really be talking about the entire metro area- all the way from Montauk to White Plains to Essex county. While NYC itself is dense, the metro area is not that dense. Good commuter transit though with LIRR and Metro north and New Jersey rail.
