    Hex, yeah. Truthfully I still like denser-style suburbs. Having a small garden plot while still being able to bike/bus most places is a dream of mine. Now many I know went with the extreme of McMansions, large tracts of boring lawn, and pricing out the local farmers. Hell, I wouldn’t even mind an apartment if it didn’t cost so damn much, but collective arrangements are near impossible with how capitalists have written the laws to favor landlords.

          Also what if the buildings connected all the way around the block and closed in an area the size of a small park? And were strawbale-insulated so you couldn’t hear through the walls? And had each level staggered back for privacy and for those roof/balcony yards? And had continuous porches or awnings that would stretch around the outside?

          It would be totally within our capacity to build.
