i used to rent in an area like this in Houston. Last I heard it’s been taken over…. but inner city Utopia sounds cool!!!!

Families with kids don't typically want to live in areas like this on average. There are probably some exceptions, but those are usually inhabited by young single people.

We're not spending billions on rail or bus infrastructure to connect 100 additional people to the grid (who will prefer their own cars)
Hay is out of the barn, our cities are developed and that's that. Cars aren't going anywhere

Damned liars trying to convince us that we are living longer more enjoyable lives. Its the industrialists trying to convince us to buy their products.
Too bad we can't transfer folks like her back to the 50's. Up at the break of dawn, go to the field and work all day in the hot sun. Come home in the evening, no air conditioning, and most did not have indoor plumbing.
I lived then, and still would rather be in a traffic jam in an air conditioned auto, instead of an open air horse drawn wagon, six miles to the cotton Gin.
Life expectancy was 48 years in 1900.
Now its in the 70's, and would be higher without the illegal drugs.

Hot as frick. We aren’t pussies though and can handle hot summers.
Also helps that these no cars allowed areas are full of grassy areas and trees so it’s noticeably more pleasant than other areas.

One of the most populated and oldest cities in the country radically transformed its dense urban core over 200 years after it’s founding.

But "dense urban core" doesn't exist in the overwhelming majority of our cities. There is nothing to transform because they do not exist. We are not sardines in our cities like the rest of the world

I’m a highest and best use guy. Taking up half a city block for a flat, surface level parking lot sucks.
Well said. This is the way. I am only talking about urban centers. The most desirable places in cities are walkable and there are limited cars and traffic.

I have no idea what this really has to do with anything. Does having loads of space in dense, urban cores taken up by parking lots and roads lead to less homeless people?
I have never seen an excess of homeless people in these areas of my city. Maybe see two or three idk. Certainly not a remarkable amount or more than you’d expect to see in any city.
There’s way more hanging out by interstate exits and underpasses.

So you claimed that they were jobs and not a career. Can you explain why you said that? I honestly don’t know why or how you could make that claim.

Several square blocks.
The most popular one is growing and expanding like crazy too.

because you want to spend millions in tax payer dollars to accomplish the same thing. just later rather than sooner. pretty simple
