    I started writing a comment of confusion because I thought I was on the mildly infuriating community not the mildly interesting community.

    Overall yes this is wonderful progress that more cities need to adopt

            No, by replacing it with public transportation and human-scaled spaces. Well, leaving one small part of it for service vehicles and people who absolutely need to go buy car if there is no better option.

        They actually can’t afford not to. Walkable cities improve the economies of cities because people are actually able to get to stores on roads that would otherwise be swamped with cars. It improves health and safety as well.
