    The most frustrating thing is being in a place with dense outwardly building urban development. Watching more and more copy/pasted strip malls go up with plans for “Subway. Smoke shop. Nails. Maybe gas station.” (Yes, every time)

    Aside from copy-paste labyrinthine housing developments.

    You just wish you could shout loudly enough “You’re doing it all wrong and there’s still a chance to make this better!”

    But it keeps on going.

      If it’s a strip mall with a surface parking lot (as opposed either having a parking deck, or having very little parking at all because it’s TOD), it categorically doesn’t count as “dense.”
