With lots of chain stores and a seeming sprawl atmosphere, it is not surprising that a renovation is being sought. I believe this renovation might influence the neighborhood to become denser. The twenty minute neighborhood must have the essentials, but Barbur as it stands now is, again, spread out. This plan I ffeel would also aid in the use of public transit (as they suggest new street car lines to be put in) as well as a lessened dependence on cars as the neighborhoods will have everything one needs. These two factors as well as increased density will only heighten the availability of housing and increase pop./decrease sprawl.
