  No one uses the covered bus stops in my street because they’re full of homeless people slop? Once that shit gets rained on people have the heart to bin it.

  Not the parent, but weather resistant bus shelters take up a lot of space. So you're essentially trading sidewalk space for bus access.

    I lurked this forum for several years before I ever posted, which is why I don’t make Reddit-coded comments like “Who hurt you?”

I think we should take away people's right to live in suburbs. ;-)

>Also who hurt you? I do not own a car, I walk/bike/bus/train everywhere and almost every time it is a terrible experience. I want to have a better city, but a city does not become "walkable" or "unwalkable" because of zoning. It becomes either because it is either a good place to be or a terrible place to be. The obvious drug dealing at train stations make it a bad place, the obnoxious people with a total disregard for others make it a bad place, the trash everywhere make it a bad place, etc. If you do not make cities nice places to be nothing else matters. And if you do make them nice places, everything else will follow, since now people want to be there and will demand e.g. better zoning and infrastructure.
