@una trek Are you going to walk:

In a place with trees, wide sidewalks, quietish noises, crossings safe

Or

In a place with no trees, walking on grass, insane noises, and crossing streets with high risk?(There is a massive risk, cars are like the leading cause of death almost in the usa)

lws

Americans can only think in 2 party discussions. Either this, or that. It is hard to find towns that are 'transit dependent'. Cities with transit have space for car use for 90-95% of the city. The problem is that in car dependent (US) cities/neighbourhoods, you are severely handicapped without a car !!
Americans can only think in low density single zone urban sprawl vs high rise condo down town.
The whole discussion is about mixed use, where you can walk, bike, use transit and ..drive. And for that you don't need high density or high risers. Nor do you need big cities for good transit.

Cities like Oulu, Finland (200k pop & 915/km2 and Bordeaux (990k pop & 770/km2) have a similar density as a city like Indianapolis Marion County (977k pop & 947/km2). Both cities don't have a high rise down town (not actually), predominantly with 3-6 story buildings in the centre and single house suburbs (often bungalow type houses) . 500 metre from Bordeaux Centre-Ville square the backyards with swimming pools pop up...

Oulu, 200km south of the Arctic Circle (!) has a very extensive, mostly separated bike network with a 30% bike mode in summer and 10% in the dark, long, cold winter.
Bordeaux also has an fairly extensive bike network (200km). Since 2003 they reopened a tramway network (77km in 2022 with 260k daily users) in addition to an extensive bus network (300k daily users).

Bordeaux is situated in the Nouvelle Aquittaine region which has with 70/km2 a lower density than the state of Ohio and yet the city has about every hour a train to other major cities like Toulouse, Nantes, Bayonne&spanish border. On top of that it has a HSR train TGV service to Paris (600km in a whopping 2hr6min !!).

In Finland, with a density of 16/km2, lower than 39 of the US states (!), on daily basis run 22 trains per day from the Polar circle and Oulu to Helsinki (600km to the south).

I grew up in Houston where my life seemed to revolve around my car. A few years ago I moved to Singapore and now I happily live car-free. Commuting to work by bus takes 30 minutes, half of which is walking. Now I don't want to leave.

Nick Gerz

My family moved to Singapore when I was in 3rd grade. I knew nothing about public transit and environmentalism, but I thought it was weird when my mom bought a car after a while. We used the trains for a while, and as a kid I thought it was cool.

All this is on top of the fact that Cities Skylines is completely rigged in favor of car-centric philosophy (which is not a bad thing because as a game it needs to be fun). There are way fewer cars being simulated, they disappear into thin air, requirements for parking are almost non-existent, road maintenance does not scale linearly with car use and is also greatly reduced, and more. The game doesn't do those things like in real life because this kind of design is a recipe for bankruptcy, which is what realistically happens with car centric planning: they are all of them financially insolvent and exist by having better planned city centers heavily subsidizing them.

It's easy for people to say they prefer this kind of lifestyle and neighborhoods, when it's other people footing the bill for their crumbling infrastructure.

Graham Turner

1y↑7

Though some mods make it more realistic. TM: PE (Traffic Manager) has a setting called “Realistic Parking,” which removes the pocket car behavior and forces people to have a parking spot if they drive. Therefore, giant parking lots become necessary with car-centric planning. Also, Realistic Population reduces the population of low-density residential buildings, and increases the popularity and population demands of everything else.

As someone who grew up in the suburbs, it really kills your adventure spirit and makes you a homebody. If I wanted to live in a place with a lot of nature, it wouldnt' be a suburb. Suburbs are just a massive unwalkable concrete bedroom community.

una trek

@Knightmessenger .. I think it's psychological. If person chose to live in apartment outside downtown they'll most nights wander a few blocks and hit bar and friends, so next morning they'll be tired and work and not get promotion. We know ourselves and decide I gotta move away from all the fun.... Plus having house SEEMS adult but having a landlord is like having a boss even at home.. Once kids come you want distance with strangers, not 100 doors which could have psycho who darts out and grabs your kid. Unlike say Finland the US has more jerks and dangerous people, Finland a person can show he's from family been there last 400 years and you share cousins, in US it's some weirdo from middle of New Jersey who don't even know if he's a local or criminal..... I'm not judging, but small towns and small countries are differnt........ And asking why in 1km2 we went from 10 houses to 500 is sorta an obvious answer. . .

Knightmessenger

But suburbs used to be nature. They just feel like they cleared every natural aspect out to build a new complex.
Sometimes you see rural houses surrounded by old trees and wonder why that kind of development that didn't completely divorce you from the natural environment, didn't last.

una trek

... with cell phones to listen to music and audiobooks even suburbs can be pretty walkable, walk an hour and try it. We went from in year 1900 walking everywhere 3 miles in hour to be soft wussies by 1970, what a change.... Me too. My grandma walked in mud and we can't ride a bike on nice pavement, we re wussies. And now we want govt to chaffeur us, we're triple wussies . . Me too. But let's not say sidewalks in nice suburbs are unwalkable.. it's weird how work went from 12 hour days to 8 and still people say need car to not waste time walking or biking.. I'm no better but we re wussies...

@Matthew Gladback or just zone low-density residential houses in 1 unit wide chunks.

Matthew Gladback

@Graham Turner Yeah, there's this skyscraper-looking IT cluster building which easily hosts a cool 1k employees on its own, it is absolutely lit. Only caveat is that most of them have to be well-educated, but a university is such a good investment in that mod anyway.

When I first installed Realistic Population, I ran it without the Unlock All mod enabled and went bankrupt. I think it's probably possible to get off the ground in that mod with the usual milestone system in place, but it almost certainly requires a very different approach. You need to be uncharacteristically stingy, I think. Provide only water, sewer, and power (actual necessities) and forget every other service. Those are for communities that build rationally (e.g. the traditional development pattern which is essentially high-density from day 1.) Without the vanilla mechanic of the low-density residential secretly morphing into medium-density multiplexes (without actually looking like them) as they level up, there's little motivation to level them up by providing diverse services. They do slightly increase in wealth, but it's not enough to recoup your investment.

Graham Turner

@JORGE A and high-density apartments only have up to 20 households in vanilla. However, with Realistic Population, it’s easy to get over 40, and Self-Sufficient Buildings easily have over 100. Also, commercial, office, and industrial zones need more workers with Realistic Population. The biggest vanilla office assets can easily have over 1000 employees.

JORGE A

Yes, low density houses have more than one household in Vanilla.

Keep up the good work, I hate car dependency

If you bike an hour you can get anywhere in a metro. No city is car dependent. It is just full of wussies. All anti car whiners are wussies.. my grandma would say this as she walked everywhere and basically she's not wrong. All wussies. And spoiled who want more time to game and watch TV and too spoiled to spend 1 hour walking or biking, sorry that's a pretty weak problem. ... My gran walked hour to work at a dairy farm across the county, yet we can't bike on sidewalks 30 minutes, ok, let's not lie and say cars are only only way...... My gran would say this not me, she's not wrong... If have city of wussies you have problems but the 5% smart people mostly immigrants just laugh at rest as they walk and bicycle, or take a slow bus go see how a bus is mostly brown people, seems it's the white people who are too lazy or proud.....

When the world almost ended in 2020, I was living in NYC for a decade. And I managed and bartended in bars and restaurants so I lost all my jobs . I remember thinking I wanted to leave NYC , and then I thought of what cities could I possibly live without driving …Eventually I just ended up leaving the United States completely. And I already knew this, but every place I lived ( with the exception of Ghana) had significantly more conveniently walkable cities . Almost everywhere is so much more liberating to live without a car.

This is 100% true. I moved to Phoenix Az in 2018 and couldn't believe that you needed a car for EVERYTHING. Literally, if you don't have a car is hard to find a good job. You are tied to car payments, insurance, gas and car maintenance. Why isn't this optional? We should have the freedom to choose on wheter we want to own a car or not.

@Humulator ... There is a sidewalk or grass strip most places, even in Houston here, yes or no? This aint downtown Budapest, this is America with yes wide enough lanes.. Do you even know odds of dying on bike, or you just bought a car based on guess??? Me too, total guess... It's easy to lie to our selves but we COULD walk and bike and barely risk much . . .

Elevators seem dangerous a metal box on cable but we do the math and ride in them.

Put another way if you skipped car and saved $10000 yearly you could EAT BETTER VEGGIES AND NUTS and blow $500 on annual doc checkup, and feel younger and live longer. So 100% by being coward bout biking you're gonna be fat and die sooner. Me included.. SORRY TO BE PUSHY BUT WE RE PATHETIC THINKERS AND COULD WALK AND BIKE SMILING LISTENING TO MUSIC ON PHONE EVEN, WE SUCK, and all we do is moan and want govt bus service,what losers are we.... Peace

.. how many miles was your Phoenix commute exactly?????. At 10mph why not bike it. You didn't "need" a car. My grandma would say this dont blame me, she walked in mud an hour to dairy job and she'd yell when we whined about biking in warm Florida to store. Americans got lazy and got better things to do than walk a bit, and don't admit this, you, me. It's hard to fight herd behavior but no one doesn't "need" a car unless you're in a wheelchair, now they "need" a car... I had no car in Houston, I was seen as weirdo yes, but peer pressure is not same as "needing" something.... Most people follow the herd it's normal I'm not blaming, but it's like millionaire saying they need a yacht to not be seen as weird, that's not "need"... I need cocaine..

Doesn't stop drivers, especially tourists, from taking out their pocket cars out of a big train station just to travel a few blocks and always drive only on one lane. With C:S, pedestrians are willing to walk far using pedestrian and bicycle paths. The main traffic generator are cargo vehicles needing to deliver raw materials and commercial goods.

I’m with you on most things, but there always going to be a large market of people who live in single family residential, not near medium or higher density.

EnthusiasticsRock

1y↑1

This is an example of residential dissonance. The majority of North Americans only know the idyllic suburban lifestyle they grew up with, so they're going to assume that's the default and only option, or that it should be.

It's part of a self-fulfilling prophecy that was foisted on this country after World War 2. Housing and transportation were culturally converted from necessities to commodities, and this attitude only increased during the Civil Rights movement as a way to segregate races and deny minorities mobility, opportunity and decent living conditions.

I encourage people to examine this thought process. Was it was actually practical and/or desirable to live in low density housing and the market demands simply shaped the policy, or if policy and propaganda was dictated by special interests and resulted in suburban development being the default?

Fin R

2y↑4

@Ushio01 Absolutely man, there are definitely places for single family housing where it works. I guess I am coming from a place of much larger settlements, like big cities where such housing just creates urban sprawl. In smaller towns and rural areas, it usually does make a bit more sense to have single family housing, though certainly apartments can work, as you see in many small continental European towns.

Ushio01

2y↑7

I live in a single family home and within a 3 minute walk I can be in a street filled with shops and it has high density housing on the fringes. This is very common in the UK and Europe.

We have a front and back garden and a driveway long enough to fit 4 cars easily plus a garage. But we are still within walking distance of shops and a train station and there are 30,000 people living in this small town that you can walk across in an hour or cycle across in 20 minutes.

MeMooo

@Fin R higher density housing are bad you won't even get to have your backyard not to mention the noice if you literally play the tv little bit loud your neighbors will complain

the only one is happy is the contractors why to buy more land and pay extra money to sell single home
if you can put bunch of residents in one big building

Do you mean like, there will always be people who want to live in single family houses? Because that's true, but a lot of people who live like that would be happy to live in higher density housing, me included

Thaariq Rahmanzaid

1y↑2

The "Car-Dependent City" has more land,thus make it cheaper to built residential houses. And the "Urbanist Paradise" practically has less land for development for residential use,so they have to build upwards,raising the cost astronomically.

Thaariq Rahmanzaid

@Jan Lukas sure, I mean,if that given land has value in it,people will go there. Right?

Jan Lukas

1y↑2

@Thaariq Rahmanzaid maybe think about Europe, where major cities existed BEFORE government planning was in place. Did they sprawl out? NO, they did not. And while yes, just the house might cost less in the suburbs, WHY does it cost less? Because you have to take a car, which is far less attractive than taking transit (if the transit is built properly), partially because a car can increase the cost so much, that the suburb becomes much more expensive than the urban city.

And also you can have suburbs, there are many suburbs with low rise housing in other places as well, but usually they're still walkable, bikeable and accessible by transit, as well as having grocery stores and similar mixed in with the development.

Thaariq Rahmanzaid

1y↑1

@Graham Turner technically,but who will guarantee that? Private corporations,maybe. maybe not,the price could be "manipulated" based on supply and demand. This is why goverment needs to help(assist) on better access for more affordable housing project,reducing the zoning law requirements(like in california,built more of 2 or more story buldings,not just single family houses,reduce the parking lot requirement).
Not just that,there are alot of zoning requirements throughout the country that is out of touch with the demand reality for lower home prices for younger generations. I think it's cool though if states like wyoming or texas or colorado that technically have more empty lands implement reduced zoning requirements for 2 or more story buildings and parking lot requirement.

Graham Turner

Eh. There are also more units, so the costs can be distributed among more residents.

Living in an apartment in a city is extremely cool, but there are also houses in well planned cities (I live in one), and in and near towns which can have excellent PT. But you can live in a suburb if you want - just don't force everyone else to by supporting shitty urban planning rules.

Independence? From what exactly? I honestly don't understand what you're getting at. I can walk to 6 grocery stores in 5-10 minutes, a few train stations roughly the same distance, and still have a car in my garage I use two to three times a week. I've got a small back yard in a single story house so plenty of privacy.

But then nobody is stopping you from living out in the fringe or country. It's just maybe a bad idea to force other people to live like you if they don't want to - which is what these zoning laws do.

MeMooo

2y↑1

I totally disagree with you, high densities apartments are no way to live,, you can't even have your own backyard or pool not to mention the noise that will come from your apartment neighbors in the same building,, its simply not as much as comfortable as single homes

shraka

2y↑8

I live in a single story house with a small back yard 5 minutes walk from the train station and 4 grocery stores, and there's a tram stop even closer. I share one very thick wall with a single neighbor. Walk-able neighborhoods don't have to be apartment - though I've lived in some apartments that were very well designed where you could barely hear your neighbors - noisy apartments are just badly / cheaply designed. I'm very comfortable thanks - though I was also very comfortable when I lived in the apartment up the road.

Ushio01

2y↑12

The point is to have mixed use zoning rather than single type zoning. All types of homes and apartments in a single area with shops and some other businesses is a much better place to live.

That way you can go from starter apartment to single family home as you progress in your job. Not have a choice of living with parents or a mortgage you can't afford.
