@gailen I'm curious, how many times does this same effect need to be seen in cities everywhere before retailers and business owners are finally going to start promoting projects that remove cars, rather than fighting them?
@notjustbikes @gailen An infinity of time. It’ll happen everywhere, everytime, especially if the store owners live in a remote suburban area giving them an excuse to be enslaved to their car. :p
