@bartwaggoner200 @StrongTowns @clmarohn Short answer: growth gives the city an initial financial boon but sprawling development doesn't pay for itself in the long term. It's very much like a Ponzi scheme. We have to change the way be build to break out of it. 3.9K views · 11 likes · 3 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
