I get incredibly excited by reading about well designed urban spaces, or even more by walking or cycling in such spaces.
And at the same time incredibly frustrated when walking out of my front door. A charming neighborhood with fairly narrow streets (for Berlin standards) with parked cars on both sides, on some streets halfway on the sidewalk not even leaving enough space for two people walking side by side. This is Berlin mind you, not some suburban car-dependent planning mistake.
