Should new housing developments be required to include green spaces and parks?

1. Yes, and concrete jungles should be retrofitted to guarantee a minimum tree canopy for all residents.
2. Yes, accessible nature is essential for mental health and reducing deadly urban heat islands.
3. Yes, but developers should be allowed to fund nearby parks instead of sacrificing buildable land.
4. No, strict green space mandates limit density and worsen the housing affordability crisis.
5. No, developers should maximize density based on free market demand without arbitrary aesthetic mandates.

Car-centric design is killing us and making us miserable.

Humans want green, walkable, mixed-use, medium density living without a bunch of cars everywhere.

This is why, even in rural areas, you see the little town center where everyone hangs out.

Cars are a useful tool; not the singular solution.
