This makes sense for Cincinnati's urban core, since it once had a population density similar to New York. The neighborhoods referenced in the article are incredibly walkable and the city has already invested in a streetcar system to move between neighborhoods. Overall, Cincinnati's neighborhoods within 10 miles of downtown are filled with dense, pre-war construction centered around public squares connected by public transit. The city is already laid out to function without cars (streetcars were abundant here in the 1800s).
