Yup that's the one. The statement does not even make sense - unless one form is being subsidized at the expense of the other.

There is nothing intrinsic to the laws of nature that requires greenfield and urban development to be mutually exclusive. Both can occur simultaneously and even thrive, with the appropriate inputs and resources and planning.

Like a true metaphorical cancer, the chosen greenfield form wants to be subsidized so it does not have to pay for the inputs it requires, until finally, all the body parts die together. In the meantime it will keep getting harder to pave the roads, and water-mains will keep breaking everywhere. And somewhere, one of Hamilton's finest trolls will blame the bike infrastructure.
