    1. Exactly. Legalize walkable land use typologies and intensities and by-right and fund public transportation operations.

  1. Here’s an idea. Get the government out of the way with all of their regulations

    Let the free market in the automobile industry do its magic.

    1. No thanks. We’ve seen what that does. It just ignites a race to the bottom to cut corners and safety elements.
