Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:
There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.
They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.
Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.
Insanity or stupidity?
I call those places “hostile to pedestrians”.
We have a few areas in my municipality that lack sidewalks, and they are in places where people work or take their kids to dance lessons. 😵
