Hire more cops[0], build sane public transit, invest in acoustic insulation and adjust your notions of what 'blight' is, to focus on blight-by-design of cookie-cutter suburbia.

The insulation might help when I'm in the house, but not trying to, for instance, read a book in the back yard.

Does anyone not think that broken down cars growing literal trees in them, broken glass, and garbage in people's yards are not blight? That's what I find just a mile from here where there are duplexes and apartment buildings.

Two of those are caused by cars, not people.

More density, more cars. The people bring the cars with them. It's not like the cars are autonomous... yet.

People can live without cars. It's easier in denser places.
