[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cities work when they are cities, not when they try (and fail) to be like the suburbs. Put in some transit and space for deliveries, ban the cars, and the rest (bikes, walkers, etc..) we can sort out later.[/quote]

Cities work when they are able to attract high earning residents and commuters to spend money that Democrats then waste on stupid programs.  Cities don’t work when they are only attractive to nonprofit and NGO workers.  Then you end up with Portland and SF, which we’re about 5 years from being. [/quote]

I live in DC and have a high income; I avoid downtown because I hate driving down there and the bus service is a mess.  I would go down there more if the bus and cycling network were better.  If they had a bike lane and bus lane down K so I could take the bus down 16th and then grab a bike share or a bus down K (without having to cross several streets) then I would definitely spend more time and money down there.  If I want to go shopping in a suburban strip mall I will drive to Pike and Rose.  Would LOVE to be able to take more reliable transit downtown for dinners out.  I recently went to Georgetown and the bus service was so non-sensical- I had to walk several blocks to pick up the S bus on the way home because it does this weird thing where it is closer to 15th for the first few blocks.

Yeah, all these people who are like "the bike lanes are hardly used" are completely ignore the several hundred THOUSAND trips taken each month by people on freaking rental Capital Bikeshares.[/quote]
