"Efficient urban density" sounds chillingly Orwellian to me.
it's just a straight ahead term, whereas in practice the more romantic term "landmark district" could represent a more Orwellian outcome
cities are half machine/half organism; your neighborhood probably already has efficient urban density, and i bet no one there really needs a car
but here the thriving local business district (which gives my home a walk score of 98) mostly depends on customers from away, who mostly arrive by car (though bikes are popular too); this also means the types of businesses don't really match the needs and desires of the neighborhood; this is inefficient; one could also phrase it more organically — "out of balance", "unhealthy"
