This is my central criticism of this generation of planners; they assume single detached housing is a benign/sacred baseline and everything and everyone else who wants to share that space must be prepared to make an offering for the privilege.

They (ie the subset of practitioners I’m annoyed with) assume Arterial Densification is justified on this basis, and all density must “taper” to this.

“Every seat on the plane should ideally be first class. If you want to fit smaller economy-class seats into the plane you need to pay an extra density fee because you might inconvenience the existing first class passengers”
