You're telling me that a stroad where, along a 1km/1mi stretch of mostly strip malls, of which >70% of the surface is parking spaces, is comparable to a street such as: * https://www.google.com/maps/place/Queen+St+W+%26+Tecumseth+St,+Toronto,+ON https://www.google.com/maps/place/Queen+St+W+%26+Tecumseth+S... That cycling and walking on a highway-like path is comparable, at all, to a pre-WW2 street? Have you ever tried living life without a car—without even being driven by someone like you parents when you were younger—in an area where stroads are the basic building block of transportation?
