Traffic and parking would be a nightmare.

Build more lanes and more parking nbd

For 30,000 people? That’s not really possible. Also, cars and parking

30,000 is nothing. Look at NYC
Jimmertime

NYC is also the most expensive city in the country and has a population
Stopper6700

Well my point was that 30,000 is a lot less to manage than NYC

Research shows building more lanes makes traffic worse. Look up "Induced demand"

An argument that is absurd on its face, with nefarious implications

I mean it’s true. More lanes = more cars

If we're going to talk about 16 lane roads, we need to discuss one-way roads
reddead

Single lane roads actually make sense
Jimmertime
Jan 15, 12:22pm
I think 2 and 3-lane roads are probably optimal in most contexts
reddead
Jan 15, 12:27pm
I mean there has to be population to begin with. Use some common sense here

Induced demand is a simple, single-lens way to look at a problem like this

Do you see what I mean though? We just went from an argument about congestion
reddead

I see your point

For all its faults, I think Daybreak is a great example. Love that the red line

All the traffic is a sign our roads aren’t working. Let’s do more of the same

All the traffic is a sign that people live here

That's why people study at the library.

It would be objectively worse. All commuter schools are bad.

BYU serves several very different demographics: Preemies, RMs, and married
reddead
Jan 15, 8:45am
Married students would not be better off with single family home and commute.

I think I am considering cost... The operating assumption is that it's cheaper

Maybe things have changed since I was there ~10 years ago

I think things have changed, but values vary from person to person, too

I would have hated that as a student. At the time I loved apt living

I will say that singles wards around campus are MUCH better than anywhere else
reddead
Jan 15, 9:17am
Yes, because they all live in apts and are very close geographically, I think.

Why would any one student need a family house to themselves?
