    You can just cross the street

    Yeeeeeaaaah, that is exactly the issue here, no one ever does that just so they can walk on the sidewalk.

    Quick test:

    if someone want to go from house (a) to house (b), which path do you think they will use?

    Answer:

    Because they’re normal people and they’re already walking, crossing the road just to cross it again at destination is sort of redundant and take way more effort and risk than it should be(because car, fast or slow, still a threat to people crossing road), and people following the designated path by the developer is pretty sociopathically law abiding.

    non-permeable

    Permeable sidewalk exists. Even then, a 4 or 5 feet wide sidewalk have less impact than the asphalt. If that’s a big issue for you, then the street should be narrowed. And even if you want to retain the size of the street, i still see a tons of permeable surface, a sidewalk will have minimal impact.

    decrease density

    Density of what?

    increase the city’s maintenance burden for no increase in utility or throughput?

    It doesn’t increase the throughput and utility because based on this picture, the whole environment outside of the house is build for car, not human. And based on this picture, i can be certain that car is hoarding most of the city’s maintenance fund anyway, because maintaining road cost significantly more than maintaining pedestrian infrastructure. The burden are mostly caused by car infrastructure, while the earning from designing the area this way isn’t even enough to cover the maintenance. If maintenance cost is of concern, maybe build something human-scale?

    Latency is why i don’t want to play multiplayer online game, but i can tolerate it since my input is immediate. Cloud gaming gonna be jank as heck in most part of the world, not to mention i don’t really have much time in my hand(like basically most working adult) so the subscription model gonna be more expensive in the long run.

    You shouldn’t need a tech tour and an app (or five) to turn the heat down or clean the dishes. You shouldn’t have to worry that pressing the wrong button will set off a chain of events you don’t know how to undo. All these powerful processors and thousands of lines of code have succeeded in making everyday things slower, harder to use, and less reliable than they used to be.

    Kinda really sound like a skill issue? Seems like the author went in over-zealously without research and then regret it. There’s tons of useless smart device that have no busness being smart device, but there’s also tons of IOT device(specifically those simple one) that made my life easier.
