Traditional development calls
for a balanced range of housing price points or
“attainable housing” within neighborhoods.
Single-family homes sit next to small apartment
buildings. The housing types are integrated and
do not clash. A young couple can rent next to
a family with four children. Mixing the different
types, levels, and scopes of a society creates
an authentic community.
With sprawl, the key word is segregation.
Sprawl segregates by any characteristic such as
income, ownership, age, dog owner, and/or children.
