The great "green space" communities could never have come into existence had they been subjected to such zoning laws. To have people close to the places they need to go, which is required for high pedestrian, cyclist and mass transport usage, you need to have high density communities.
I'd like to see population density figures for all of the cities and communities compared. I'll bet there is a correlation between density and ped/cycle use as well (high density implying high usage).
Did you think my opposition to bike lanes would be somehow correlated with an opposition to green space? Why on Earth?
