Why can’t I evaluate new urbanism concepts such as clustered housing, narrow streets and shorter driveways?
You can do that. Simply designate the conventional sizes for street width and driveways on one run, copy the results, and use narrower streets and smaller driveways on another and compare the results. The option of using “Half of lawn replaced by garden with native landscaping” could simulate a development where half the area is left open. The shorter streets common in new urbanism could be simulated by making the lots bigger and putting more rooftop and pavement on each lot to arrive at the same number of homes.
