I disagree. Towers do not serve families who are forced out to get more affordable ground oriented space they crave, so they commute in, in their car. I know of so many people doing exactly that. It's one of the biggest failures of all this urbanism. It's not family friendly for so many.

At the time, for sure.
Fortunately we've had half a century of non freeway economic development to show an alternative path.

Absolutely, but I mean at the time, because as regards the Broadway Plan, we are now at this time.
