>You guys always mention idealized scenarios where you live next to ice cream parlors and brewpubs, coffee shops, nice independently owned restaurants, record stores, and so on.
I am the original poster you responded to. The irony is this exists in the East and in various places in the Midwest in America. A ton of it is mixed use, certain places in the Midwest and in the East are returning back to that. The Southwest is beginning to realize it's not sustainable as a whole as well.
>In reality most of the shops near you are
Most areas in the Midwest to the East are not even like that, you are cherry picking bad areas that have this, the irony is though most of what you mentioned exists in poor sprawl areas i have been to, none of them are walkable or mixed use. Besides people can choose not to live in bad areas or if they hate the area they have, they should allow things to improve in those areas.
>Drug addicts? In my neighborhood? YES PLEASE, says the urbanist.
lol you have to be trolling now. Even in my state which made it legal a few years back has a good security officer that checks your ID, sign in on a tablet, get your supply and go back home.
