I definitely agree with everything you said, the only thing I would add is that there are likely economic factors that will encourage/mandate denser development. Some cities will be able to make that transition many wont. I think New Orleans will have the ability to make that transition as it is in many ways already there. A renewed focus on expanded streetcars, efficient bus system and then safe and available bike-paths is all a plus. I don't have to bike but often enjoy the ability to do that. Its healthy and really opens yourself to neighborhoods and vantages you just don't see in a car. BTW do you guys think a zipcar franchise would work well in the city ?
