>>1107531>giving cars space is always the death of any possible kind of urban developmentthis
comfortable urban development has to prioritize human scale streets
vast expanses of ugly, hot asphalt, loud, dangerous cars, and few crossings discourage people from spending time outside
restaurants, small shops, coffee shops all do best when there is a constant flow of pedestrian/bicycle traffic and they're on an attractive street
nobody wants to sit by a loud, smelly car road and drink a latte, but they're happy to do the same in a quiet pedestrian square
