New, nationally representative survey on community preferences finds that walkability is great, but low crime is lots greater. The lesson for cities hoping to revitalize their downtowns is pretty obvious.

Survey on community/transportation preferences linked here. But TLDR: we want denser, mixed use neighborhoods. It's just illegal to build them. nar.realtor/reports/nar-co

What does research say is the best way to decrease crime rates? More policing? Or more resources to the members of those communities? Something else?

I agree, but I also think municipalities can do more about walkability than about crime. Why? 1) demographics affects city crime 2) criminal justice is more of a state issue than walkability is (though certainly state law is relevant to that too).

As millennials settle down, developers should focus on bringing medium-density, mixed-use development to suburbs with good schools and low crime A clear blueprint for success based on the data
