Another reason why this may be the case is that there are a lot of new condos in sprawl-y suburbs. Not everyone wants to live on the outskirts of a city and need to rely on driving for everything.

    There's no way around that particular issue, though. As it is high rises are already the best way to develop urban areas in a way that's eco and micro mobility friendly.

    I have nothing against high rises. My city is trying to increase density by changing zoning laws around bus routes, clearing some properties for hi rise development.

    When I was looking for places to live, I would rule out places that were too far from where I work/where my friends live because I travel by bicycle.
