- nonethewiser 3y agoSo it would make their community more accessible to everyone, including criminals?
- AdamN 3y agoIn Chicago there are neighborhoods that actively blocked subway access so they could be car suburbs and not get the change that comes with mass transit access. Same for the famous Robert Moses parkways on Long Island. There is some validity to the idea that preventing mass transit insulates a community from a certain type of change but it comes with major costs.
