> Anything other than a perfect grid in neighborhood design is due to classism?
Wow, talk about putting words in his mouth. He's referring to the status quo for American suburbs where those meandering side streets don't connect the arterials except at just a few choke points and there is no walking connectivity either. Fix those things does not imply "perfect grid".
He isn't complaining only about poor connections to main streets, he references meandering side streets several times as well... Anyway, every bullet I listed applies just as well to reducing "entry/exit points" as it does to meandering side streets, so I would argue limited "entry/exit" also does not mean classism was behind the neighborhood layout.
