Changing the infrastructure and zoning of an existing city is much easier said than done.

Fun how we had zero fucking problem doing it to every city in the country for cars. 🤷

Including destroying neighborhood-after-neighborhood with highway overpasses.

It in that case the people with power wanted the change. They could profit from it, so it came easily.

Once those same people can make money by densifying urban areas into rental hellscapes and monopolizing public transit, you’ll have that. And it will suck.

Literally destroying buildings to build surface level parking.
