PseudoSpockGet rid of the bicycle lanes and bicycle only blocked off roads and bring back the street parking. I’m more likely to visit your diner if I can get there quickly and have a place to park. Or, convert office buildings into affordable housing, and do it so much that living in the city is affordable. I’ll still work from home, but I can eat out. :)
ninjakitty7Making cities even more anti-human hellscapes is why nobody wants to be in a city in the first place. There needs to be MORE of the things you want to get rid of. You’ll be more likely to visit their diner if walking past the diner, and the cafe, and the pub is a pleasant experience. Local business dies when places become destinations spread out by a concrete mile of car infrastructure because you can’t window shop from a car. Other countries figured it out a long time ago.
