I think a big part of the problem is that generations of people between 1949-present in Canada & the United States have lived under sprawl centric/NIMBY oriented housing & land use policy to the point where it’s hard for them to envision an alternative. Even considering the fact that denser/mixed use neighborhoods and transit oriented development were the norm in North America prior to national highway systems, the average person has struggled to understand that the last 75+ years of urban planning in most North American cities is not a natural or sustainable urban planning model.
