    Likely nothing because there’s 100+ years of laws and momentum preventing any meaningful change.

    Not to mention the cost and time required to make change is something that is no longer feesable in many instances as things stand. Making change even if you were to get everyone to agree not possible.

    We can make things better going forward but in many cases we can’t actually fix the existing problem with out displacing people and businesses. Damaging already struggling local economies and creating a larger homeless problem.

    City planning is a brutal issue that frequently doesn’t lend it self well to going back and fixing problems. The best in many cases is to stop fucking up in the first place on new construction. And band aid fix old.
