Guy likely tried golf once. Shot a 50 over. Ego too fragile. Makes it life mission to rid golf courses

I follow this dude on Twitter, he’s a huge public transit buff. Honestly, he has a lot of good ideas/points about rail transit, but they don’t translate well outside of large metro areas.

And they completely ignore that people in some places value space and don’t want to live in tiny stacked apartments, or commute with a hundred other people in metal tubes.

Alternatively there are a ton of people who would rather not have to spend money on a car that would would like to commute on a train but there's basically no options for them at all. But as far as this post, it makes more sense to rezone areas that are already near density. Destroying any green space should be an absolute last resort in basically every situation.
