>>1370145>>1370149The problem with redeveloping into mid-density, walkable main streets is the terrible aesthetic of new construction. ""Architects"" and urbanists try to pretend that their terrible buildings aren't a problem, that everyone always hates a new style, but I think a lot of these new buildings going up will have similar reputations to strip malls and gas stations.
The picture you posted looks nice, sure, but anything constructed to be like that in 2019 or later would resemble this pic more than that
