Bus stops are often set too close by municipalities, but that’s driven by the lack of density in US housing. Density drives efficiency.

Ah yes, lets demolish one of the most economically productive regions of the USA, both in GDP / capita and GDP / km^2 in order to make it easier for people to drive through it.
Listen to yourself, this is deranged.

Doesn't matter, dense cities start having their own issues. Instead of taking "the bus", you'll need to wait for the correct bus to arrive. Also, density drives up misery and nothing else. Proven by the birth rate.

Yup, exactly. There's no freaking reason so much GDP has to be crammed into several square miles of space, sucking the life from everywhere else.
