20.00% - There's a point where adding more people to a fixed space creates costs faster than benefits — good planning finds that optimum rather than just chasing maximum density.
Uniform density across a city is poor planning; a gradient from transit centers outward serves the city better.
55.00% - Rural students face systemic disadvantages in college admissions — fewer AP courses, less counseling, less test prep — and that's a structural gap, not a talent gap.

50.00% - Uniform density across a city is poor planning; a gradient from transit centers outward serves the city better.
50.00% - Density should follow a gradient that steps down from transit and commercial centers outward.
0.00% - A single population density over a wide swath of square footage of the city would be undesirable.
