A better opinion to have would be that when you plan new suburbs, you can never again create them with courts, crescents, and meandering streets, features that make transit in addition to neighbourhood walkability and bikeability impossible or at least infeasible. Density-wise, you should never again see anything resembling the tracts of homes on the opposite side of Westmount from UW's lands, and all suburban areas should have multiple housing types, so as not to create the "This is only for single detached homes" mentality that is pervasive when you have a suburb like many developed today. Nobody is arguing that every development in the region be a 20+ storey one, which is one extreme, but we seemingly think nothing of rubber-stamping the far more dangerous other extreme.
