Dense discussion update

KUOW-FM listeners weigh in on the density debate.

Partly in response to a recent post on urban residential density, Monday's "The Conversation" with Ross Reynolds on KUOW-FM in Seattle focused on the pros and cons of dense development. A podcast of the show can be found here. It is definitely worth a listen: You get on-the-ground perspectives from Seattleites who are dealing with the consequences of growth and rapid change. It's not urban planning theory, it's urban-living experience. Tune in if you missed it.
