I’d build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!
Unfortunately you’d have to solve the wage theft problem first unless you want only execs and the yuppiest yuppies living there. They were making similar plans in a not so terribly lefty city, to tear down a few neighborhoods and some not even old office buildings to build something similar. It wasn’t for any utopian plan, but to further gentrify a core part of the city and make the land owners and developers filthy rich. There was no option to be grandfathered in. They were just going to tell hundreds of families and businesses to fuck off if they couldn’t afford to move into where they already lived.
Yea, and preferably in a better way than the section 8 projects that immediately turned into slums of a slightly more vertical sort. It cannot entail simply shoving all the poors together with little other assistance.

For someone named lane, you seem awfully anti lane…
Also, yes please to all of your filthy commie ideas.

That’s a fair warning and a real shame.
Bring back public housing.
