    Worse, all they did was redirect who gets the disposable income back to downtown restaurants and landlords. Not like the money wasn’t being spent elsewhere. And they did it at the expense of the environment and everyone else’s time. It literally did no good for the economy, it just helped specific businesses. And how often have we heard that it is not the business of the government to pick winners and losers? Let the downtown cores and commutes die. Businesses elsewhere will thrive, and the core will become something new.
