Also before everything was designed around the car. I was just in Maui and thinking about how different Front Street in Lahaina is from anything on the South side and how much better it is. At the end of the day it comes down to parking lots. The South side was developed requiring every development to have its own parking. Lahaina was built with one chain wide right of ways with no parking lots. One is fun to walk around and one isn't.What's hilarious about this misinformed view is the urban neighborhoods that people like the most all got put up way before there were almost any zoning regulations They could not be legally rebuilt if they burned down.
Zoning needs a massive overhaul, starting with getting rid of parking requirements. Cities should help put in parking garages (or better yet, PT) to allow dense walkable commercial districts to develop again.
Also fuck Elon, I can't believe hole money people still support him.
