Am i to understand that the popular opinion is that everyone hates residents of Cranston and Auburn Bay and south communities because they chose to live there? I live in Cranston and liked the affordability and that it is close to where I work and where my fiance works, so in your guys opinion, i should have had to move downtown and commute from there? That is a more logical and reasonable solution that developing outward instead of upward? I ask these questions honestly and with no sarcasm or "feather ruffling" intended. I am jus trying to get a read on the issue.

I live in Cranston as well (and love it), but what I think most people are talking about is building neighborhoods like Seton. Check out the plans here:

After doing some research based on the posts here, I think the primary goal of adding density is to reduce our reliance on driving and the associated space it takes up. Freeways, parking lots, right-of-ways, etc. take up a ton of space. I am not convinced it is possible to build an entire city like this, but I think we can all agree that we can do a better job at it.
