It's hard to see New Urbanism as a political opinion. Recreating pre-automobile community structures is both sustainable and organic to the way our country developed for centuries. Only in the past 100 years has the structure changed with the influence of technology.

Conservatives supported sprawl because it allowed people to escape black and Latino crime that progressives unleashed in the 60s. The only way to escape the continuing march of scum was to keep moving.

Oh, this is easy. Conservatives want to forbid you from doing what is wrong. Leftists want to force you to do what is right.

The tools of the New Urbanism are collective and are applied coercively, both of which are the hallmarks of the modern left.

The right would love to have better cities. But for the left, telling you what to do is what makes the cities better.

So naturally there’s conflict.
