A lot of problems are easy if you can get everyone to coordinate. Wishful thinking is not a plan though.


You don't need to get everyone to coordinate.

Change the zoning laws, incentivize developing mixed use, prioritize pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and stop prioritizing cars and parking.
