"foot traffic and porches " How true. A lot of ways sense of community is damaged, even in dense urban areas. A neighborhood in NY I visited this year has three generations in an apt house, where families have lived and known each other for 80 years. Ill-advised "redevelopment" has been more careful about tearing these down. I like the "transit pocket" development schemes of small mixed-use communities surrounding a square and on public transit path. Unless knowledgeable citizens participate, planners need to be prescient and persuasive against big money and big lawsuits. A tall order. And, there is no statewide or national leadership. The (wrong) idea is that you make big money, fast, if you say to hell with "collateral damage" to society. Even tho' economically superior gains can be made with rational people-friendly planning, IMO.
