That kind of dream is called a nightmare. We block out the Sun. We replace the nice smooth concrete sidewalks with cobblestones... causing more noise from wheels (carts and strollers and bikes too, not just cars) and causing people in high heels to sprain their ankles. Oh, and cobblestone is crazy expensive. I guess we'll be needing mass transit, but we just made the street to narrow for it. We make it really tough to transport a family. We made the area inhospitable for people (often women and elderly) who feel unsafe out of their cars. I know it's cute. It's not actually livable, unless maybe you are an athletic single male who telecommutes. Oh, and the weather is at least as nice as SF.
