Every single 'issue' with increased density, mixed zoning, and more middle housing is due to cars. Traffic congestion, parking, noise. It's almost like #carsruincities.
"If you ask people what streets are for, they say cars. That's opposite of what they said one hundred years ago...Streets—venues of myriad public activities as late as 1920—were redefined as exclusive transport ways."
This block of Taylors Ferry between Virginia and LaView was supposed to have a protected bike lane years ago. Why is this stuff so slow to get onto the ground? #SWTFpdx#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something

Looks way more fun! But oh, man, those needlessly winding sidewalks, I do not like those. Why do city planners intentionally making walking or biking farther? It makes no sense! 😭 If they want to create some chicanes, do it in the road!
"75% [of drivers yield to people in a crosswalk] at 20mph — a speed at which traffic rarely moves on auto-centric U.S. streets... 30mph, just one in eight of them yielded" #VisionZero#CarsRuinCities#trafficEngineering
