Changing zoning laws to facilitate the construction of more than single family homes is great, but I hope they also allow for mixed-use buildings by default. A development that doesn't have e.g. a place to buy milk and eggs within walking distance is still car dependent.
There's a rail station in my neighborhood (in the middle of the freeway that also runs through my neighborhood, fucking awesome thanks California) that has some five-story apartment buildings near it, but the nearest grocer is 1.7 miles away. It would literally be faster to walk to the train station, take the train to the city, get your groceries, and then take the train back than to walk to the one that's actually close. Whose fucking idea was this?
Automakers lobbying and legalized bribery does that for you.
